Procrastination Is by far the worst thing I struggle with. If I could change one thing in my life that would make the greatest impact...it would be to never procrastinate ever again. It has ruined more in my life than the traumas I suffered as a child. It has cost me so much. Friendships, relationships, jobs, my retirement...places to live...its truly horiffic. I have done it for so long I don't even know where it comes from. It is devastating and can strip you of your self esteem.
I'll help you save some time. 1. You have stress. Name it and acknowledge it. 2. Forgive yourself. 3. Think of future you. 4. Countdown to 5-4-3-2-1 and get started and they will help with momentum
If you want to procrastinate less and concentrate better on studying you can study with me here. Instead of watching videos on youtube you can have a video of me studying and keeping you company, so you don't get distracted. I study for 1-3 hours with breaks in between while I keep you company If you're interested, feel free to study with study videos of mine Hopefully it will be useful for you...
How does this have only 15k views?! I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. It's all hitting me, and this morning I got out of bed the fastest I ever have! Thank you

But Mel, I invite YOU into my morning routine. After my toilet break I head into the spare room, drink water, stretch my back over the exercise ball, then grab my weights, then sit down for 30 minutes and either write or do my Dimond painting. And then I break my 18 hour fast with a healthy blend of bone broth and coffee and sun in my eyes. But as soon as I get into that spare room, I pop on your podcast. Sometimes, our phones aren't holding us back. It's in what we choose to do with it.
Listening to this while doing chores really made it hit home. I’m already doing some of rules, but as an Australian I struggle with the High Five habit. I also realised that I need to add in a meditation practice every morning. Thank You Mel
The best podcast interview I’ve ever watched . Starting my NEW YEAR off right ! Thank you Mel . You have gained a new subbie. I needed this . I’ve been saying for yeaaaarrrrs I would start getting up early to get my day done . Welp, that day never started . But it was NOW
I have had this topic in my mind a lot recently and actually felt pretty hopeless today because I have a business plan for my non-profit to work on (and I’m really excited to make progress), but I couldn’t bring myself to even sit at my laptop to work. The universe knew I needed this in this moment.
Mel, what a profoundly outstanding video - I’m 8 minutes in and you have surpassed every procrastination video I have ever watched with such insight and practical wisdom, you have made me weep, then laugh, then admire and appreciate your openness about private struggles - you make the most of every single minute that you are speaking with your viewers! Wow, you have a remarkable gift that makes a remarkable impact on others.
'Addicted to my excuses'- LOVE that! SO many people are stuck at that stage! You put it perfectly! I relate so much to so many of the points that you mention.This video is a keeper.I know that I will refer to it time and again.Thank you so much for your fantastic, thought-provoking and inspiring content!
I am so glad I found this video. I went to TH-cam to find some help with my procrastination habit and dam I struck gold with this one!!! This video is so POWERFUL. Thank you Mel! You have a subscriber and friend in me! I can not wait to put the rules into action. Thank you thank you thank you!
Procrastinating is something I’ve suffered with and still do sometimes… the biggest realisation has was getting the first 5 minutes done.. For example yesterday I started making a video about Alex hormozi and I didn’t know where to start, after I got the first 30 seconds edited I have a wave of inspiration!
Not me breaking out in tears on this last 5 min of your Video ! Guess I needed that more then I believed ... Iam a 29 Year old Creative living in LND and I do struggle with Procrastination lots of times , I didn't know about it until I have been bullied about it in my last relationship , I started to look into in . I managed to escape this this toxic Relationship bcs I knew I deserve so much more and as my biggest Criticiser I realised I have to be better tomyself to attract ppl that are good to me too . Today was again a day where I had all the time in the world but literally only managed to do the basic . I woke up tired after a nap I tok around 5 pm and I asked myself why are you still feeling so bad about you and your life . Bcs of the knowledge I already learned about procrastination I knew I have to change my mood and do something productive to distract my brain from being in this constant Circle of overthinking and low vibration . So I found your Video and ahnestly Mel I thank you so much for all of these words and your realness about it . I got this and I deserve to be fighting and getting up for my Dreams and the life I wanna live .
I cried with this video. You gave us lots of tools and the forgive yourself piece for being a procrastinator was nice to hear. Great resource. Progress Yes! Thank you Mel's team.👍🏼
Me listening to Mel talk about how it will spiral out of control, stress will paralyze, and how it causes a freeze while I am I'm on TH-cam avoiding doing an already overdue report for work that I have already gotten in trouble for. I am so glad I clicked on this video though - it has been so enlightening!
OMG! I love Mel and her way of talking about serious topics with so much care, warmth, and her jocularity that she place in between the lines makes me smile soo much, Thank you Mel. For doing this and you really get the point accross in the best possible way. Never stop being the amazing person YOU are. Thank you 🙏😃
Thanks for sharing this great information with us! All the information you shared is great but as a life coach, I would also add that one of the biggest reasons people procrastinate is that they feel overwhelmed by the task at hand. When a task seems too big or too complex, it's easy to put it off because it feels daunting. In those situations, I find it helpful to break the task down into smaller, more manageable pieces. This makes it easier to get started and to feel a sense of progress as I work through each piece.
Thank you. I actually procrastinated from my schoolwork by watching this but I guess it actually will break the cycle. I mean I hope. And I will try to do these things in my life. I meed to get out of that comfort zone to make it bigger
Hey Mel, my name is Jamie and I love watching you. I am a 40-year-old Grandma. I am waiting on my disability due to my mental health and I’m an addict always being an addict since I’ve been listening you helped tremendously. I felt so lost I didn’t know what to do in my life and I still kind of don’t know what extra work to do. Kind of find it, I’ve been waitress in like kind of restaurant business all my life. Maybe you could talk about the next step of life I think I’m going to menopause too but thank you so much for everything.
I've been analyzing what I've been doing the last few days-more success in many small steps and ways and I said to my self :"Why do I have to fight for it?" Success is happening. Mel is saying what I've been doing and now I realize it is like this for EVERYONE. I thought it was just me that had to fight.
Mel omw!! You hit the nail on the head. I've been thinking of these very things!!!! I said listen to mel now!! Tytytytytyty Tytytytytyty Im going to the 5 day challenge!!🎉❤
OMG this is genius. Genius. It explains everything I've been going through for sooooo long. And now I can change. I can finally FINALLY change. Thank you. I can't say that enough.
I've been seeing you on some podcasts and have been using the 5 second rule for only a couple days and so far the barbell has made it's way to my bedroom and I've showered every day. Baby steps, I know, but I have treatment resistant bipolar disorder and those are huge things for me right now. Thanks.
If you want to procrastinate less and concentrate better on studying you can study with me here. Instead of watching videos on youtube you can have a video of me studying and keeping you company, so you don't get distracted.

I must have fallen asleep, as when I started watching this, it was about procrastination, but then it became all about the morning routine. Guess I'd better watch it again!
Omg. I'm glad I found this. But honestly, I'm not sure what my trigger is. But I have this overwhelming feeling that I'm alone in this world and expected to be this adult that everyone depends on. And I'm over here thinking, WTF are you looking at me for??? I'm 15??? I'm actually 52, but I really feel like a kid being expected to do all this stuff. Everyone says I'm the smartest person they know and that I could do anything I put my mind to. And the rational part of me ABSOLUTELY BELIEVES IT. But that 15 year old in me is scared to death. I death scroll for hours, then beat the puck out of myself. I make to do lists... and do the easy things. I don't take days off, but I accomplish nothing. So I'm berating myself 24/7 and getting nothing done. Forgiving myself isn't a strange idea at all. I could forgive that scared 15 year old in me... but if I knew what she was so damned scared, I could work on it. The only thing that motivates me is literal fear at this point. So I'm in chronic stress until the fear tips it, then I rush like a crack head... then I crash again. I keep waiting for that adult to come rescue my 15 year old self. 😢 I really need help.
I have been dealing with intense resistance & procrastination with Grad school. 😖 I can't bring myself to keep up with my homework. It feels like self-sabotage. I even sought therapy which hasn't been helpful. I'm supposed to graduate this year but sometimes idk if I'm gonna make it. 😔
My procrastination relates to me getting to work on time. I love my job, I enjoy what I do, I need my job.. so I've been trying to figure out WHY I have been unable to get to work on time. This poor behavior puts my job at risk, and I want to keep my job. I think procrastination might be what hinders me in getting to work on time.
How do you know? The video is 1.5 hours long, uploaded 30 minutes ago and your comment was posted 30 minutes ago as well 🤔 😂 I'd love to digest TH-cam motivational videos too by osmosis by the way 😂
Mel you are amazing! Thank you for this content. You've unpacked this very sore point I have been pulling my hair out over. A terrible blow of procrastination today. Few areas stressing me out. hahha good laugh for the scrolling aimlessly, I am trying to catch myself in the moment now :)))) Big hug and love !
Gratitude: As you're knowing, to foreigner like me Yours are really understandable what are talking about. If not, repeating make clear after all. But sometimes when as international it can be serious problem. I wish you known me that i will Thank you. madam. Hope i purchase your books or electric ones.
I feel so called out, I'm a PHD-PSY student in Trauma and Disaster Relief, I never procrastinate until my doctoral program. I want to break the cycle, I get anxious about turning my research in because "who would listen to me talk about CSA or human behavior following Se*ual trauma but the thing is I maintain a high GPA so I just think "oh I work well under pressure no big deal", but then the cycle starts again the next week :(
Act like you believe in yourself before you do believe in yourself. It's in the doing that you become someone new. A morning routine is essential -- your morning routine is like the first domino that falls.
That was very confronting but at the same time it was a relief to know l am far from along with what l put myself through. I'm inspired and excited to know it can be better! There is a light at the end of what seemed an endless, suffocating dark .tunnel!
I really enjoy listening to you. You are very insightful and encouraging. The only issue I have is when you start cussing. It brings you down in my eyes and it is disappointing because I shut it down and turn it off. It honestly feels like a verbal attack. I know others may not think anything of it but I'm thinking there's probably a fair amount of people who feel as I do. I don't mean this as a hate mail scenario. I'm just trying to be honest.
I can swear like a trooper, so I'm used to bad language, but sometimes it's too much for me. And the cussing means I have to be very selective who I get to share the information to.
I agree totally and I choose not to listen to it. I asked her if you could somehow give us a heads-up so we can choose to avoid it. Just like movie ratings. I don't watch movies with it, so certainly with a podcast.
You guys really can't listen with a few f bombs thrown around? Sheesh. Just blur the word in your head and dismiss it. That's her choice of language, guys c'mon! Sometimes a curse word can have more impact. Though I know not all viewers appreciate it. She could use words like "friggin" or the letter itself like I mentioned in another comment. Idk, for me I like Mel's work and her message I can look past the sailor mouth.
I feel the same. That kind of language is a real downer. For me, it negated the good encouragement that was happening in my heart as I listened to Mel's words. Honestly, it felt like verbal abuse. In addition, I know that Mel is a smart lady and has the ability to express strong feelings and opinions without the use of swearing. She does so in about 80% of her podcasts already. There were some things in Mel's podcast today that I wanted to share with my teenagers, but I decided not to because of all the swearing. They don't use those kinds of words themselves, so I don't want to hold up someone as a teacher who is using them so freely.
When is the best time then to get up? And how can I remember myself - doing the habit of the 5 second rule - do do that every morning without putting myself in too much pressure causing to not do that at all?
Hello new best friend Mel! Goeie fok! (That's Afrikaans for Holy cr*p!)- Monday Morning here in Cape Town and I'm in front of my esel painting the portrait i've been procrastinating on for days. Harry our tripawd ginger has occupied one side of the bed when my husband left for work, so I only made my side. ❤ As an aside: Creatives often get stuck. My muse has left the building and i'm painting! 54321... I love you Mel! Susan x
I get so anxious with fear on medical appointments. I know I have to see dentist with gum disease/implants and I have been procrastinating on this for years. I don’t have enough courage to face this situation
“Your dreams do not disappear. Your dreams are something you are born with. Your dreams are your responsibility. They are also your life force. So, stop running away from them and run towards them." - Mel Robbins
How do I manage to NOT become so extremely rigid about my goal or the excessively high standards I set myself for causing the trouble not doing it at all?
I saved this to watch later! 😂😂😂
Lol

Old joke and not funny anymore..
I just did that as well and then saw your comment! Thx for the reality check! 😅

I'm inspired and excited to know it can be better! There is a light at the end of what seemed an endless, suffocating dark .tunnel!
I really enjoy listening to you. You are very insightful and encouraging. The only issue I have is when you start cussing. It brings you down in my eyes and it is disappointing because I shut it down and turn it off. It honestly feels like a verbal attack. I know others may not think anything of it but I'm thinking there's probably a fair amount of people who feel as I do. I don't mean this as a hate mail scenario. I'm just trying to be honest.
I can swear like a trooper, so I'm used to bad language, but sometimes it's too much for me. And the cussing means I have to be very selective who I get to share the information to.
I agree totally and I choose not to listen to it. I asked her if you could somehow give us a heads-up so we can choose to avoid it. Just like movie ratings. I don't watch movies with it, so certainly with a podcast.
You guys really can't listen with a few f bombs thrown around? Sheesh. Just blur the word in your head and dismiss it. That's her choice of language, guys c'mon! Sometimes a curse word can have more impact. Though I know not all viewers appreciate it. She could use words like "friggin" or the letter itself like I mentioned in another comment. Idk, for me I like Mel's work and her message I can look past the sailor mouth.
I feel the same. That kind of language is a real downer. For me, it negated the good encouragement that was happening in my heart as I listened to Mel's words. Honestly, it felt like verbal abuse.
In addition, I know that Mel is a smart lady and has the ability to express strong feelings and opinions without the use of swearing. She does so in about 80% of her podcasts already.
There were some things in Mel's podcast today that I wanted to share with my teenagers, but I decided not to because of all the swearing. They don't use those kinds of words themselves, so I don't want to hold up someone as a teacher who is using them so freely.
Ευχαριστώ ❤
Very motivational, tomorrow I'm gonna be a million bucks.
When is the best time then to get up? And how can I remember myself - doing the habit of the 5 second rule - do do that every morning without putting myself in too much pressure causing to not do that at all?
Hello new best friend Mel! Goeie fok! (That's Afrikaans for Holy cr*p!)- Monday Morning here in Cape Town and I'm in front of my esel painting the portrait i've been procrastinating on for days. Harry our tripawd ginger has occupied one side of the bed when my husband left for work, so I only made my side. ❤ As an aside: Creatives often get stuck. My muse has left the building and i'm painting! 54321... I love you Mel!

Damn that was powerful ❤
I get so anxious with fear on medical appointments. I know I have to see dentist with gum disease/implants and I have been procrastinating on this for years. I don’t have enough courage to face this situation
Great
I swear I'm going to employ your methods...first thing tomorrow. 😁
I am type one diabetes with childhood truma, procrastination is killing me when it’s mixed with my anxiety and brain fog.
I'm trying to write my thesis now.
To encourage me to listen, i put it to 1.5x speed.

How do I manage to NOT become so extremely rigid about my goal or the excessively high standards I set myself for causing the trouble not doing it at all?
