Ill watch this video tomorrow
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn’t stop laughing and I’m at a formal event. Shame on you.

I know
1. Embrace the fleeting moments
2. Don't overthink, just do it
3. Find your why, be disciplined
Key takeaways
Congrats TH-cam once in my lifetime you recommended me the right channel
root issue of procrastination is fear of failing thats why people do what they do but instead of treating failure as something negative treat it as a platform to learn then youll overcome it just embrace failure and its a natural process so dont get too hard on yourself :)
Square root of procrastination
I started math recently and when he said you're probably smart, I felt proud
I have ADHD and suffer from severe chronic procrastination. I'm on the verge of being kicked out of my master's degree programme as a result of not being able to work on my thesis at all for more than two months. I believe that I found this video at the perfect time, and it has the potential to turn the tide and transform my life. Profound thanks, The Math Sorcerer!
1. Embrace the fleeting moments.
2. Find your 'why'.
3. Discipline
I'll implement these right away! I knew my 'why' since I was a child. It hasn't changed over the years, but maths has become more fun, albeit harder, with age.
I wish you the best❤ And I hope you will be able to get your master's with honours.
There is a channel called Hailey honeyman here on youtube and I found her videos n shorts content to be very informative and I think it might be helpful. Since she gives practical advice. Good luck!!
Good luck! I'm in a similar situation to you, but I have a substance abuse disorder which I'm trying to kick. I'm lost and have imposter syndrome even though many people say I have a lot of potential but depression is awful. It's a struggle but I hope all of us can move on
Cheers!
good luck, wow even your username is your "why" haha
You can do it, stranger. ❤
I have AuDHD and absolutely understand you! Internal motivation, or ‚why’ is really the best dopamine boost. Good luck with your thesis! ❤
I over think my over-thinking 😑
Me too!
Procrastination is kind of ignorance of discipline. To bash procrastination read Atomic Habits by James Clear. My discipline is nothing more waking up with a cup of coffee, a notebook and a pen in the morning. My study takes less than one hour on each subject. Smallness is mighty. My study are various such as grammar, writing, copywriting, programming for whole morning. From getting up to my kitchen table with a coffee to do the study takes less 5 minutes. I must admit my first meal starts at 2pm every day. After meal, I am free to roam any books because I am bored and I let my curiosity guide me.
Turn off your electronic devices.
Indeed!
I believe you don't need to have a "why" to do maths. We do math just because it's the only thing that really matters, it's also fun and we just live doing it
Keep making videos Math sorcerer. You give us daily motivation during the good and bad times. Keep it up! ❤
Usually I can't sit through a 15 minute video, much less listen and pay attention to it but you kept hitting lines after lines of wisdom which really resonated with me in terms of what I'm doing wrong at the moment and how I should find a solid 'why' and just do it without overthinking. In the back of my head I knew these to be the case but hearing it spoken out to me like this was so invigorating. Thanks so much Math Sorcerer !
I'll watch this video soon.
You're no longer a Math Sorcerer, you are a Math SWOLEcerer 💪💪
Find my why is really difficult, especially for me at this moment. I procrastinate so much, that I don't write my final assignment (kind of thesis for my bachelor degree) anymore. Each day past, each day I wake up anxiety filled up my heart and my mind, but I can't get myself to do my responsibility. I feel empty when doing it, I just can't. Everybody starts telling me that it's the end, it's the final step and I'll be graduate. I want it too, but I can't. I also feel so scared of what will coming after I graduate, I'm not sure this field is a right path, there is so much anxiety and I over think too much.
Hello. I'm at the age of 15 now, a tenth grader. I have to say that I do have the motivation to become great at math. This isn't a problem for me. Just yesterday I was watching your videos on topology (Because why not 😂). I understood everything from your first three videos but after reaching the fourth I realised that I needed knowledge on calculus. I have saved two videos on calculus and precalculus, both summing up to 15 hours and oh man, when Christmas arrives when I'll have 15 days without school I'll just go for it. It's such a blessing to know how valuable knowledge is. Most of my classmates, even those who are good students, only study in the pursuit of good grades and they usually don't care about education. They feel joy whenever school is cancelled for a day and I'm the only one who values and enjoys school. And I'll utilise that because I want to excel at maths and science.
Hey G, I sense some narcissism coming from your message. Keep pushing and with your attitude you will get very far but be careful on judging and belittling others (I know, kind of hypocrite to say that while writing this message). The only thing that matters in the path is how you react to the obstacles you face and if you keep pushing or not... Good luck and be aware that life is too short to spend your attention and time on useless matters ❤
@@iliasjaddi thanks, I'm dealing with pride at the moment. I'm trying to be more modest and not fall into prideful thoughts that only grant me pleasure. I used to day dream on many things but now have realised that they ruin me from inside. I don't really understand how my comment is prideful but I'm trying
@@EmmanouilPitaridis Maybe it is me who sensed something there isn't! I don't know what is in your heart that's why I was wary to say something hurtful, and if I did, sorry it wasn't my intention ^^. I am very glad you are analysing yourself and dealing with the imperfections you have noticed, it's the first step towards becoming better! I wish you the best of lucks on your path
Iam 16 years old.
I agree with you!
I study maths, physics because I love maths and science general…
I want to learn more and work on something I love …
So keep going
Try to study alone and my advice is don’t listen them.
The meaning is not the money, is not to become the best of all but to keep learning and don’t give up on maths…
@@EmmanouilPitaridisJust make sure you don’t find yourself undermining people that you don’t know (or people that you do know), without any reason or because you tell yourself that you are doing something that they are not doing out of your own inference, then that’s when you need to put a pause on it. Sometimes you have to acknowledge your self-worth though, keep going👍🏽
when the sorcerer is cookin u pay attention. big up sir thank u for real, honest advice
I think this is crap bullshit, as are a ton of other similar advices. The problem is not a lack of motivation, discipline, or procrastination. The main problem (that nobody told about) is that math doesn't care about your motivation. You can be (and many math students agree with that) very motivational and excited, but the math problem you work with isn't being solved. You try again and again, but you have made no progress. That is really depressing. Sometimes it can be mutated into (a hidden) fear of math, and then you have all of this procrastination and "laziness". Sometimes the theorem, the field of math, and that hard problem don't care about how much time and effort you put in. So, the point is not in obtaining motivation or overcoming procrastination. The point is as follows: you can spend all of your life on math and don't succeed. Do you love math so much that you can accept it? Can you do math without expecting greatness? That's the point.
This is why I think taking in-person classes is ideal. It’s easier to get started when you have assigned homework to do. Oh, and I disagree that you can’t take math again 30 years later. I’m doing it.
Having classmates, TAs and Professors to discuss with is invaluable.
In my experience in person has been the worst because working around other people's speed and navigating a teacher's ego can be tough. Online classes have really revolutionized how i learn and made me love math more than anything else
just chase the things you are doing
just do, and chase your feelings , cus your fate will come and kiss you , ggood luck
Going back to school for electrical engineering. Your videos have definitely helped me a lot.
I liked the book 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination by Corin Devaso. Taught me mindfulness exercises.
Emailed my tutor the other day to say I was going to quit (I'm too slow and so easily distracted) but changed my mind after watching this video. I have a maths exam in March, which I will probably fail the first time, but can still retake in the summer.
"I have a maths exam in March, which I will probably fail the first time, but can still retake in the summer."
That's the spirit! I wish you patience and luck.
My motivation these days couldn't be more different than when I was young: it's simply to find a little relaxation in the down-times of being a full-time carer for my partner. I found that math provided for my needs better than anything, because it's so totally immersive. So, yeah, I do math whenever and wherever I can get the time. It's literally saving my life right now.
I want to do maths to prove my family i am something
If i score is bad its beacuse of a bad time 😢
I’m 33 working as a senior software engineer. I given up on getting a math degree, for me I would just burnout and then my life won’t really change. I decided to self teach I just need to make sure I limit time on each so real analysis a few months and then to the next.
My goal or reason is more the skill of math than the status, I wish to change the world but I don’t have to be in academia.
I desire to become as skilled as a research mathematician but I don’t need to work in a university.
My path will probably end up in ai working on making my own company or finding a path in a company I work for.
I had to force myself to not put this in watch later
I strongly recommend the pomodoro technique. It really works. I wish I knew it when I was in high school, and when I was doing BSc, and MSc.
just wanted to remind you you're a fkn legend.
I have a brief question. I’m extremely passionate about Mathematics as-well as Physics. I’ve been experiencing a decline in a mental health recently & it doesn’t take away completely my why, meaning & interest in mathematics, but I notice when I’m not in a good mental state i.e (Disorganized thinking that has become habitual, Compulsions & Overthinking characterized by Stress & Worry, a loss of mental clarity as-well as distortion in my focus & concentration) I seem to approach maths quite differently & can’t see, lose the meaning behind what’s happening or how to understand what’s happening & so I tell myself I don’t want to touch my precious Mathematics whilst being in this state? Should I still persist to do maths , am I overthinking or should I assess my situation & primarily work on putting my self in a good mental state before approaching Math & Physics? Please get back to me! I’m asking this because I know there’s a true beauty behind maths, which cannot be be expressed through words, that one can reach!
OMG, this!! I feel like math is too precious for me to be doing in such a state too! Like it's some thing very powerful and requires only me in a highly absorbent state where I get the intuition and not just brute my way through. I don’t want to not be able to do justice to such a precious, powerful thing and it’s way above me and everyone else.
'-( I was hoping you were going to give me some good tips on how to procrastinate. Looks like I've already mastered the art, though.
2:36 analysis paralysis. Tò much choice 😂 it's a problem for sure.
Yeah, sometimes it's worth limiting your choices ;)
I found what I was searching
Forget about your x. Find your y.
That’s how I learnt it. I just wrote everything down over and over again even if i didn’t understand it.
Discipline isn't tyranny; it's a negotiation. It emerges from the alignment of values and actions.
Other things that affect it.
- The building of habits. Having structure in your life makes it easier to add more structure.
- Conscientiousness. Some people feel misalignment from values more strongly, and so it is easier to be aligned.
I'm not interested in maths at all I just learn eng, and I loved watching your videos some months ago. Firstly, I wanted to improve my listening skill and pronouncing cause you have a brilliant English, especially your pronunciation and diction. I was shadowing after you according to improve my speaking and pronouncing. Secondly, you give so many excellent advices which I can apply in any areas of my life. Thanks so much for your motivation and inspiration. I greatly appreciate it.😊
Thank you for this.
Abusers chase so many talented minds away from the field. A good teacher is beyond price.
You mentioned earlier in the video that you had met with a friend who overthinks often and you guys were eating some pizza. What toppings did you guys have on that pizza?
Do you ever call it "ZZA" instead of pizza?
Saved to Watch Later.
Liked so you come back 🤪
Evil! LOL
I felt fear when he said this is the last time your in high school. My grades are terrible right now but I want to boost them before the semester ends.
This is exactly what I needed, thank you sorcerer!
I’m the opposite of a procrastinator. Part of my OCD I suppose. Not a bad trait to have being a software engineer that often needs to hunt down issues in code that takes the persistence of a rabid dog to find.
Thank you, truly. You’re amazing! 💡
"Do the work" - Steven Pressfield
I've been homeschooled for most of my life but those who are supposed to teach me have severely neglected my education so I mostly just teach myself, unfortunately I struggle with procrastination and low attention span but I really want to learn math and actually be good at it, this video was very motivational for me!
Procrastination is more closely related to impulsivity than to motivation, neurologically.
I think I understand what you mean but explain.
The more impulsive someone is the more he procrastinates??
Please explain
The thing I typically recommend these days for dealing with procrastination is to read and implement ideas from Atomic Habits.
I bought this book 3 years ago but haven't read it ever since 😢
@@AJAZZist You should give a listen to some of the talks by the author (just searching for James Clear Atomic Habits will get you some results).
The principles are very few and simple, and he usually gets the point across within 10-20 minutes. And to be fair, once you understand those few things the most of what you'll get from the book is examples of how people have implemented them in real life. I.e. you won't necessarily need to read the entire book after that, but some specific ideas might be interesting enough that you'll dive only into those chapters.
Does watching this video instead of getting work done still count as procrastination? I find rationalization can be applied to just about anything, LOL.
My faviourate Maths channel on YT, love from the UK ❤
If someone wants to do whatever, let's say learning how to code, he/she won't make excuses not to do it, He/She will start studying. If he thinks he has no time, he will make somehow. Stop wasting time to watch tv and sleep and wake up a couple of hours earlier and study. I started to learn how to code because I decided to make video games when I was 47. I bought a second hand laptop and started to watch YT to learn how to code. I didn't know what to do, but I just started anyway. That's fun
Your microphone is great for recording guitar. The Shure SM7b are great instrument and vocal mics
I have never, ever, everrrr thought to myself I want to do some math today 😅😅
Hence why I have always struggled with it.
But I need to re-up on my already terrible math skills to get into my local Carpenters Union .. I greatly appreciate your videos.
Your video a couple days ago saying stop trying to understand was very much needed.
Glad I found your channel 🙏💕
My head hurts very often and I don't believe that studying math will help me. Moreover, I find it difficult to study math, I get bored.
So cool, never knew that Kirk Hammet is also an absolute math expert.... This is a really good channel, please keep up the great work, dear Math Sorcerer!
Amazing advice: You have a big brain, so don’t let it overthink you into a bad situation. If it’s a good habit, do it. Nothing else to think about. Thanks!
If I buy your courses online, will I be able to ask questions if there something I don't understand ? Thank you for this video 💜
Great guidance!
Sorry for all my comments but I'm just responding to what you said in the video. Is money a strong enough "why?" for doing math and programming?
A couple days ago I was in the shower and I thought about math. When stepping out I dried myself and thought man I still need to dry my hair and do skincare and I just went to my room, grabbed the book and did problems in the bathroom.
I'm looking for inspirational vids for my teenager. I would put a bet on one thing, is that he never woke up saying, hey, I want to do math today.
What is your opinion about studying with music?
(How true…. Discipline>Motivation)
Great advice, Maths Sorcerer. I always enjoy your videos.❤
My whole life has been pure procastination. I want to like math but I feel like it's problably illegal for someone like me to say they like math.
learning and doing math I find improves my judgement, problems solving skills, and outlook in life .
Think not of the poverty occurring, but of the riches becoming. Only the rich, get richer.
fantastic video! (and yes! please make a video on discipline, it's something that I feel a lot of people struggle with, me included)
Math is like competitive pokemon; watching videos of others' gameplay is a lot less helpful than actually playing the game/doing the math!
Hello Math Sorcerer, I enjoy a lot doing proofs, even more than solving integrals. That thing makes me feel at fault with myself.. I prefer comprehension, concepts and the big picture over all the rest. In other words, I feel the power but I don't engage in it..
Discipline beats Motivation! Brilliant insight.
I really want to do math but I also really want to go temporarily unconscious in my bed rn
I procrastinated on watching this for like a month... good video
Sorry for stopping your video but I had to stop “right now” to study for my finite element course!
Thanks you man
You are very good at motivating peoples
I'm watching this video as a way of procrastinating.
This is one of the best pieces of procrastination advice I've come across. If there's one thing I would add, it's that sometimes people have a fear of the tasks they need to complete. This fear could stem from past negative experiences or concerns about the future. In any case, I believe that acknowledging that it's going to be painful at first is the first step, and realizing that the pain will fade away may help overcome this fear. It's similar to getting a medical injection - it's painful at first, but the pain will go away, and the end result is better to your well-being that doing nothing.
It seems that maths is about finding X and life is about finding Y.
"pretty high level of intellect". lol. my iq is only 112
I'm already watching it tomorrow
cmon mf's, the numbers are calling us.
Watching this video to procrastinate.
I wish this man blinked more often 🙁
I watch this to study Chemistry 🥲
Don't you sell your library?😂❤
Carpe Diem + Do not hesitate
Thanks a lot, Man!
Great Great video
Completely agree! Gotta catch the feelings! In time, you'll get addicted to them and just do them. Some people do maths while watching movies because they are so used to going through new topics constantly. Others really need that clear space and motivational push! Gotta grab em!
Me too! I enjoy doing it while half watching tv.
I'm not that smart but I do have the havbit of overthinking. Whenever I want to do some math, or write a program, I start by worrying about whether my disign has been "elegent" enough. Finally I cannot fix all the "elegance" problems at first(because I'm not smart.maybe my problems can be easily fixed by you), and i give up.
Since I started University, I stopped to study for me, alone. Don't do that, always work and study for yourself, even when there is a ton of homework. That is my advice for future students.
Dunno, the best practice for me is the one I can sit down to daily without much effort to start. Pinter's Abstract Algebra was like this (lots of good problems in there), most books by Halmos, etc... Good authors make it easy to open their books every day, work through the problems and theory in there.
My mother tongue is not English, and I learn mathematics from English books, but I regularly resort to explaining lessons on TH-cam. Then I solve a problem from the book. I no longer know if my method of learning mathematics is correct, is this method correct? I hope I get an answer to my question.
1. Just doing and dont overthinking
2. Find why whatever you are doing
3. Discipline
Cool stuff ! You should make a video from zero to hero. Let's entertain the idea that I would like to to get a Nobel in Physics and have great math skills for advanced computer science starting from 0. What would you recommend ? A rigorous skill set description would be apricated.
I need to remember what you said @ 5:00 and try to take it to heart because I tend to have this do it all or nothing mentality which is very unrealistic. Some days I have studied math for the whole day and then the next day I might do the same thing and eventually I get burned out, lose interest and I end up not doing math for days, weeks, and months. I need to tell myself it's okay if I do math for only 30 minutes a day and do something else. I also want to say I also tend to overthink which is part of why I tend to be socially awkward. lol. I don't know how to stop overthinking. Any tips? thanks.
It's interesting you brought up the guitar because I used to play my guitar a lot before the pandemic. The pandemic was unfortunate because it made me lazy. It's been 4 years since I've played guitar.
And I need to find out the "why?" for learning and doing something like math or web development or anything else.
I agree with you on the whole awards and degrees thing. I've never cared about being officially recognized for things. Technically I still care about getting a high school diploma because there are jobs that do require high school graduation. Technically I still think post high school certification is important because there are some jobs that require it. For example, with engineering you need a freaking degree unless it's just the internship with internships as the expectation that you can get a degree and than go on to be an actual engineer.
That feeling where i've learnt math for my exam and I have to study english but I procrastiane because of I watch this video and it's works with english instead math :)
Naam bante risk se.
Worth mentioning, one of the reasons why people procrastinate is that, ironically, they want to study well and be in the perfect mood for that, have a lot of time and no distractions. The issue is, the perfect conditions seemingly never come, and it's always better to at least try to study, than not study at all and postpone it for eternity.
I agree with what you said however videos can be thought of as online lectures if you're not going to a physical classroom.
