I made my initial comment 40 minutes ago and still haven't watched the video. Could be another 20 minutes before I do so. I am scared that if I watch this video, I will stop procrastinating; though, that would be a good thing.
Between auto-play after the end of videos and videos in the side bar, I definitely agree. If you are lazy or don't have anything planned, it's easy to lose a lot of time to videos
Evija3000 Haha yeah thats what I was thinking when I was writing that comment. But if he is good at public speaking and charisma that might also be a result of being interested in it :D
Hey there. Your channel was recommended by a friend a few months ago. The more I discover, the better it gets. I have gone from a socially awkward being to a confident public speaker. Thank you Charisma on Command:-)
My first 2 years of high school I had issues of procrastinating homework. I would get home, throw my stuff down, and start either playing games or watching youtube. Now, my junior year, I tell myself that I cannot eat dinner until I finish my homework. So I start my homework now as soon as I get home. I've found myself having lots more time to do whatever it is I want to do. Also, my grades are showing it.
For me it's 2:12. If the reason you don't want to sleep is that you're not tired, perhaps you could try a sleep meditation, trust me! It really works! I've never been able to be hypnotised or anything like that and this works for me! Our could even listen to one that's kind of like a story so if you don't want to sleep because it's boring we can make it fun! Alright hoped this helped, I'm gonna sleep now. Oh, and could you reply to this so if I didn't sleep after typing this I'll feel guilty, thus motivating me to sleep now? Thanks.
I left facebook since last week and its been like 5 days since I haven't opened it. I notice significant improvement in my productivity as I only check email and youtube minus Facebook. I also notice my time spent on YT has decreased as well. It seems I start do the task quicker than I have been before. Small change, big effect.
I just did effectively two weeks off mainstream media, alt media and social media, Sort of a _spring clean for the soul_ as it is here in the southern hemisphere. Other than music and guitar related stuff, there was no social media, no podcasts, and certainly no tv, commercial radio or news papers and I limited TH-cam to specific stuff I was trying to achieve. Major improvement in getting stuff done, and I'm measurablly happier too
you don't have to stop surfing on facebook entirely. It's okay if you don't want to, but don't withold yourself of any kind of joy just to make things done, you will be more efficient, but believe me that will make you unhappy. The point is to not overdo it and not to entirely cut off things you love to do from your life to stop yourself from procrastination
+Sexy Beast But Chris said that being off media made him happier. When I went off it I found that true as well. Getting things done makes you feel better about yourself and not seeing the negativity of the news or the bragging of your acquaintances also has an uplifting effect. Although I agree that 15-30 mins of facebook or YT won't harm, as long as it has a purpose (like connecting with your friends) and doesn't wind up being destructive.
Evija3000 as i said, if that makes you happier go with that lifestyle. My point is that you shouldn't intentionally not enjoying something because it's not 'right', even tho you want it badly
Sexy Beast I could argue you. Saying no to something rises will power and can have many benefits. If that joy you mentioned previously can have negative consequences which bring stress and unhappiness, I don't think it's worth it. I think we both agree that a balance between entertainment and responsibility is the best way in most cases. But there are some cases, like when something has become an addiction, when saying no completely is the better option. Like, if someone has a drinking problem, it's best that they don't drink at all, because one drink could easily lead to many others. For some people, sometimes me including, it's similar with internet entertainment. If you watch one video, you'll likely watch a bunch of others and forget to do something important or waste all evening in one unproductive place. It's easier to not start watching at all. Well, at least that's one reason why some people decide to abandon these things completely for a while. I get what you mean though, moderation is the best option most of the time :D
Protip for writers: 500 words a day is very minimal if you're writing a novel. It can be done in 20-60 minutes depending on how motivated you are, but once you hit that threshold, you get into a groove and usually end up wanting to write more.
I thought about writing a smart thank you comment, to show how much I appreciate this video and how much I think it will help me... but ill probably do it later.
0:49 Gain clarity by daily deadline 2:04 Overcome overwhelming with Tiny Habits 3:07 Incentivize yourself with reward after your daily habit 4:45 make sure your habit are action base I know it is 5 year old video but this is a always demanding topic
Really enjoyed this video Charisma. It was engaging and entertaining; Gave me the inspiration to create a video very similar. Thanks again and the points were spot on!
Hey. Love your work. However I had a question about the example in the third point. Wouldn't it affect the quality of one's work, since they are trying to get done with it ? I mean I understand the concept of schedule of reinforcement (studying Psychology), but have a hard time applying it to my procrastination problem.
I find that if you constantly tell yourself things like "wow I actually GET to hoover today, it's gonna be so fun!" then it makes me want to do it more because that sentence changed a task (hoovering) into a positive activity instead of a chore. Helped me revise and everything, so hope it helps someone else!
This is the exact thing I needed to hear today! I'm subscribed to a bunch of different channels on social skills and self-help, but honestly, I think you take the cake as being the best one. You're legitimately helpful and you describe your methods in clear ways that are a lot more relate-able. Other channels, such as Alpha M, are inspiring and give good advice, but I feel like there's a lot of different factors being ignored that you often address. (The analysis videos are A+ as well!) Thanks and keep it up!
God damnit Charlie, are you a mind reader!? I've had a really shitty day where I got barely anything done but now I'm going to get to work, then have a reward, thanks! :D
1. Lack of Clarity. Set a concrete daily deadline. 2. Overwhelm. Make it smaller , more feasible. Just start to do it and you'll be getting it done in no time. 3. Incentivize Yourself Give yourself gratification once you get your stuff done. 4. Make sure your habits are action based.
Good timing on this video. I had a meeting scheduled about preventing procrastination just the other day but unfortunately I had to cancel until next week.
You are right. When I started using this technique, it has been a life changer for school. I study on Mondays and Tuesdays, do my activities Wednesday, reply to ppl Thursdays, and work on assignments Friday-Sunday. This has made me so motivated! I always had trouble starting school work and this helps tremendously
I love this, and what you said about setting small, do-able goals is so true! After my first baby, I wanted to get back into the habit of exercising. Forcing myself to go to the gym, or run around outside for even 30 minutes would not have kept me consistent, so I actually set a goal to exercise for 3 minutes a day. For a good long while, 5 minutes was the max I was doing, but I kept it up every single day, because it was so easy. Months later, that stretched to 10 minutes, etc, etc, etc, and these days I love working out. ...Okay and now I'll get off of here to do the other stuff I'm procrastinating!
I see a copy of your video in a Russian translation , becouse I am russing people and know english a little. And I want tell, what I like your job. It is a very interesting. You help me be better. Thank you so mach. Good luck) And sorry of my mistakes:/
Hey Charlie! I've always struggled with procrastination and I think it's even deeper than that, on an emotional and mental level dealing with anxiety or paranoia, but anyway -- This video made me think of another topic you could talk about: prioritizing and/or organizing. What happens with me is (and I'm probably going to answer my own question here), I do easier, less complicated and probably less important tasks first that end up taking more time and energy than I expected and then I can no longer do anything else that day. Classic example is when you start cleaning your room, which leads into cleaning your kitchen, or finally organizing your desk (like you've been wanting to) but then you don't file your taxes like you really should have because of the deadline. Sorry, I know this probably isn't the place to say all this, but I still think a video on prioritizing would be a great topic. Oh and your smile is amazing :) Thanks for reading!
I found you just yesterday and I am already a huge fan. The more videos I watch the more I like you and I wanna be like you! You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Aaand yes, right now I am procrastinating so I can watch you lol
hey charisma on command can you make a vid on how to get in someones head. i play sports and its great talking smack trying to get someone angered and maybe throw a punch and get a flag. just simple stuff like not shaking hands and bucking.
I just added this video to watch later
Never been happier to hear that :-)
I see what you did there....
Damn, thats the first thing i did, jebomater
Nicely done.

Ok I will go work lol
This comment actually saved me from scrolling down!
shit, you got me!
I'm putting off what I need to be doing to watch this video...
x2
I made my initial comment 40 minutes ago and still haven't watched the video. Could be another 20 minutes before I do so. I am scared that if I watch this video, I will stop procrastinating; though, that would be a good thing.
in my channel there is a summary of this video in two minutes
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Excuse me as I continue to ignore responsibilities to watch how to stop ignoring my respincibilities
LOL! "TH-cam is designed to never let you go!" That sounds horrible.
wish my ex was disigned like that
*cries in a corner*
Don´t worry, she probably will do that... with the next guy
come play with us Always learnin', come play with us, for ever.. and ever.. and ever
Same with Facebook.
Between auto-play after the end of videos and videos in the side bar, I definitely agree. If you are lazy or don't have anything planned, it's easy to lose a lot of time to videos
fine you caught me. I'll go do my home work.

The fact that he's making the most helpful videos on the internet...?
Watching this instead of doing homework xD
Fredrik Herbai late to school rn xD
Me too.

Great channel man :) You seem like an honest guy and it shows that you are personally interested in the things that you talk about. Keep at it!
Arcade shut up!
Heh, maybe he's not, but he's so good at public speaking and charisma that he can create that impression at will. =P
Evija3000
Haha yeah thats what I was thinking when I was writing that comment. But if he is good at public speaking and charisma that might also be a result of being interested in it :D
I was thinking the same
Togam Pertin you shut up too!
Can you do a confidence/charisma video around the character Tyler Durden?
Majesty ooooo good idea
Thanks : ) I hope he sees this
What do you mean?
But nobody comes on this channel to learn how to be a nut case. Go buy some soap♥
Vonda Krakar Love Don't say that about Owen, fuck you.
Hey there.
Your channel was recommended by a friend a few months ago. The more I discover, the better it gets. I have gone from a socially awkward being to a confident public speaker. Thank you Charisma on Command:-)
How did you overcome your social anxiety? because I suffer for it and I really want to work around it.
follow this channel's advice. I guarantee it works. you'll do great
deb dash :)
I'm so happy for you!
i know, right?
Im procrastinating my life for the last 20 years..
hahahahhaha wow thats a lot
does that mean you're dead?

I've found myself having lots more time to do whatever it is I want to do. Also, my grades are showing it.
I would be the happiest person to go to sleep on an empty stomach 😂
Wow, that sounds like great advice! I’m going to steal that thanks lol
"Turn off TH-cam," It is impossible.
Who else ended up here after watching several videos?
Indeed, I do feel it is impossible to leave this site :0
Who else is procrastinating in the comment section after watching this video?
Me 🙋
Meee
I'm procrastinating to go to sleep, and it's 1:00am
Someone help me
For me it's 2:12. If the reason you don't want to sleep is that you're not tired, perhaps you could try a sleep meditation, trust me! It really works!

Its 2:20 for me :(
I didn't wanna click on this video at first because it made me feel bad I was procrastinating studying. :(
When you're watching this instead of doing homework
I know what you mean. :D
I vacuumed after watching this video. Felt good.

I'm going to save it to watch it later
😂😂
He has done zero coding. So, he has only ones to do!
Lol
Pure gold
Wow, some great points. I needed this. What great videos.… maybe I should just watch one more then.
Glad you dig it!
Goal: Get off TH-cam
DONE!
Ok time for the reward! let's get back on TH-cam!
But that's like the only thing I'm really good at. 😂
Is it just me or is Charlie here getting better and better after every video?👌👌great, great job sir!
That's awesome to hear - glad you're loving it!
Yes, I am! and it has been such a big help for the past 4 months
I'd kinda like to know how to resist the temptation to give up or take your incentive before you've completed the task.
Watch a motivational video.
Protip for writers: 500 words a day is very minimal if you're writing a novel. It can be done in 20-60 minutes depending on how motivated you are, but once you hit that threshold, you get into a groove and usually end up wanting to write more.
I'm way to lazy to finish posting this comme
...
lier
Oh yea yae
I seriously love your channel. Super inspiring!
I thought about writing a smart thank you comment, to show how much I appreciate this video and how much I think it will help me... but ill probably do it later.
But seriously, that's amazing. I'm of to do yoga and math homework!
Kalihman Eitan yoga is for gays
yoga is lame, better do drugs
I don't know why but I love your comment.
I mean you asskirk.

Thanks again and the points were spot on!
nice video
Hey Charlie, could you do a video on depression? I'd really love to get your take on it..
Hey. Love your work. However I had a question about the example in the third point. Wouldn't it affect the quality of one's work, since they are trying to get done with it ? I mean I understand the concept of schedule of reinforcement (studying Psychology), but have a hard time applying it to my procrastination problem.
I wish I had seen this video 10 years ago.
Thanks, really thanks, this is just what i needed.... :)
Thanks! Glad you like it

Good point! Thanks!
reading the comments as I put off what I should be doing.
I was thinking about this, the video popped up, clicked it, watched it and took notes, wrote this comment and now I'm off getting shit done. Thanks!
This is the exact thing I needed to hear today!

Appreciate the feedback :-)
My daily deadline will be at 12 o'clock. Noon or Midnight? Idk, IDK!! I can't decide!
Goal for tommorow: Decide when to make decisions for the next day.
Great video!
The scientific approach to "Just do it!".
Nike knew it...
*add to watch later*
I procrastinate on stuff because I don't fucking like doing it end off. Give me something I like doing!
I procrastinated watching this video😐
great tipps. i'll start using them first thing tomorrow...
this is a very good video
Glad you're digging it
This video was actually helpful compared to other "procrastination vids" I've seen before. Thank you
Thank you milady!
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS
I know this video is 4 years old but I truly want to thank you! This is the 1st video about procrastinating that actually spoke to me 💜
Can you do a video on why I'm not successful yet? Or how to require success in life?
God damnit Charlie, are you a mind reader!? I've had a really shitty day where I got barely anything done but now I'm going to get to work, then have a reward, thanks! :D
Don't look at the comments and stop procrastinating
1. Lack of Clarity. Set a concrete daily deadline.
2. Overwhelm. Make it smaller , more feasible. Just start to do it and you'll be getting it done in no time.
3. Incentivize Yourself Give yourself gratification once you get your stuff done.
4. Make sure your habits are action based.
How many books I read and I don't apply the exercises? How many videos I watch but I don't do the action? I'm the only responsible. Thank you Charlie.
Damn it, was gonna sit and watch TH-cam before bed but now I'm gonna have to do that compulsory reading for Uni I've been putting of. 😅
Good timing on this video. I had a meeting scheduled about preventing procrastination just the other day but unfortunately I had to cancel until next week.
I'm currently procrastinating by watching this video about not procrastinating.
see pirates of the caribbean trailer on the right side. oh hey, let's klick on it, what a nice idea!
Came her because of my subscription list... Now I feel bad for writing on my thesis -,-
WARNING: If you follow his advice, TH-cam will get bankrupt!
You are right. When I started using this technique, it has been a life changer for school. I study on Mondays and Tuesdays, do my activities Wednesday, reply to ppl Thursdays, and work on assignments Friday-Sunday. This has made me so motivated! I always had trouble starting school work and this helps tremendously
I procrastinated watching this video for about 2 days. I'm glad I watched it now
I'm going to add this to my watch later queue. One day I'll work through that list...
I procrastinate by watching procrastination videos I think I've reached a new level
Woke up late on a Monday, this was the first thing in my subscription list. Must be a sign! :P
I love this, and what you said about setting small, do-able goals is so true! After my first baby, I wanted to get back into the habit of exercising.

Your so cute! You make it fun to watch! I have "tiny" goals to achieve today!! Bye

Really nice tips concerning TH-cam goals, definitely using it for my channel from now on.
I'm unclear about the daily deadlines I'm supposed to set so I don't set the deadlines. lol - Still on youtube leaving messages
What up checkmark

I went to read a book directly after watching this video :) thank you!

"Turn off TH-cam"
Bro your click-thru rate just went way down 😣
Can you do a video on how to network with people? who are 20 years ahead of us, or finding a mentor.
I should be doing work for a subject I've failed...
He should stop procrastinating and buy a new V-Neck
I see a copy of your video in a Russian translation , becouse I am russing people and know english a little. And I want tell, what I like your job. It is a very interesting. You help me be better. Thank you so mach. Good luck) And sorry of my mistakes:/
Not a problem, thanks!

I'll just add this video to my 'Watch Later' list and watch it later.
Great advice! Helps a lot! Thanks!
~ Glad you're finding it helpful!
I'll put this on my watch later list.
(joking)
I found you just yesterday and I am already a huge fan. The more videos I watch the more I like you and I wanna be like you! You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Aaand yes, right now I am procrastinating so I can watch you lol
I'm flattered and glad you are liking the channel! But I gotta say it...get back to work ;-)
I'm such a procrastinator I'm going to put this in a playlist and watch it later
lolz
this did not help, I think I'm just lazy.
this video didnt help with shit you don't want to do at all. like school work. i still dont want to do it.
(Sees title of video in subscription feed) (Goes to comment section to write "I'll watch this later") (Sees it's already top comment) (Cries)
hey charisma on command can you make a vid on how to get in someones head. i play sports and its great talking smack trying to get someone angered and maybe throw a punch and get a flag. just simple stuff like not shaking hands and bucking.
I think you missed the point of this channel...
I need to get my life back on track and start growing dope again.
Спасибо, я теперь очень очень быстро читаю и также очень быстро учусь
P.S.: Не знаю кто это тебе переведет)
Маргарита Яжина XD
I reward myself with memes. Does that count?
Watching this video while procrastinating....
dont know why I Get positive vibes from you❤
Got me hyped doing pushups till my arms fall of.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you man, love your channel
Appreciate that!
Procrastination sucks! I'm always much more satisfied when I'm focused and productive. Habits are everything.
