Amina N I do this, but find that if I prepare and clean my area, sit down with books open I watch a video about school tips and motivation etc and it's seeming to work to motivate me to continue and start productive study
Another tip my mom told me about the other day was to make it less convenient for yourself to procrastinate, and more convenient to get the work done. For example, my mom knows this guy (who told her about this) who wanted to learn to play the guitar, but whenever he got home from work he just sat down on his couch and watched TV. Soon, the evening was gone and he hadn't spent any time on the guitar. So he took his guitar out of its case and put it next to his couch, so it's always there and more convenient to use. Then, he took the batteries out of his TV remote and put them in a different room, so he could still watch TV if he really wanted, but it was much less convenient.
i literally paused the video before you could even give an out-tro and i cleaned up all the trash from my dorm then took a walk to target to pick up some groceries and now im about to actually start studying for finals, THANKS for the motivation!
Thank you! This helped me a LOT... I am in the highest class in our school and there are tons of projects, research and I still have to review for our exams next week. I am having trouble in making my grades higher, it is actually the second quarter already but I still haven’t reached my average of 90% and if I don’t get 91% percent this quarter I might get demoted into the second highest class in our school. I don’t want my parents to get sad, I also don’t want to get embarassed for getting demoted. I just want my family to be proud of me and it is very embarassing on my part that I got demoted, my parents tell their friends about it a lot and I don’t want to disappoint them.
Wow. I've been a chronic procrastinator for the past 5 years, I was diagnosed with ADD this past summer so that's part of it, but also over the past two weeks I've just been feeling extra unmotivated. This video contains probably the most helpful tips I've ever heard, and trust me I've watched tons of procrastination videos and done a lot of research. I felt motivated just by hearing the tips! I even had to pause the video to turn off my lockscreen notifications for social media. I'm going to write all the tips down to remind me every day. Thank you so so much! Also that was the least annoying audible ad I've ever seen, tying it into that productivity book is actually making me consider downloading it :P I've been subscribed since my freshman year in high school, and now I'm a senior :) Thank you again for all of your help!
I swear you should be a motivational speaker!! I LOVE all of your tips and they are always so helpful!! I am a big fan of changing my study locations and writing lists of what I am supposed to get done each day. OMG I always productively procrastinate! Last night I even procrastinated my biostats by doing chem which was great because I never want to get started on chem haha! Love the video and wishing you best of luck on your finals!
tip number 7 seems like it would work for me! as im watching this video i actually have a lot of work to do, but i justify procrastinating and watching youtube videos with the fact that i always get my work done no matter what. even if i put it all off until the night before, i do sit down that night and crank out all my work, and it works for me but i know its not the best method of going about it. next semester im going to try my hardest to get myself into a schedule of doing my work when it is assigned to me rather than putting it off til the night before it is due. thanks for the tips katherine!
Ugggh before the 19 th, I have a ten minute speech due ***THAT HAS TO BE MEMORIZED*** , a completed project board due over the Ronald McDonald House Charities, a page over the 5 step planning process, two 300 pg. books that have to be read with book reports, plus daily homework. This video was very helpful and like a saving grace for me. I've been in such a slump trying to figure out how I'm gonna get all of that stuff done, and this video has really helped. I'm definitely going to use the what, when, and where, and switching around my study places. I don't think this video could've came out in a more convenient time.
I always watch motivational videos when I need to BIG clean my room and you are part of my Productive Procrastination! I need to be writing scholarship essays to my last school but I've JUST finished (within the last week, two weeks) the essays and interviews for three other schools and I just can't do more rn. So I'm trying really hard to do other productive things. Thank you for this.
Thank you very much for this, as you know a lot of kids get really bored in online schooling so thank you this really helped me and I will definitely get an A+ on my assessment
Wow, THANK YOU for this video! A MUST-SAVE!! Your strategies are literally brand-new to me...which is so hard to come by AND YET, the best thing for me personally when searching for and hoping to spark some new motivation!! Can't wait to get started with implementing these habits into my study routines!
tip 1 is golden. I did that in my undergrad college years ... and will probably continue that in USC Grad school. ❤😂 Talking abt the tips that I am very interested to try would be 5 and 8. Social media has been creating problems. So I will definitely try doing what you said. 😁
I was watching this to procrastinate my homework lol, but This is such a good video!! I'm a horrible procrastinator, I totally overcheck social media and stay busy with other things to avoid school work. I also tend to stay home and watch movies/waste time when I could be working out or doing something social. This inspired me to plan/concentrate on studying and school work and take healthy breaks instead of going on my phone and cramming in late nights of work. Also inspired me to go to yoga tonight rather than just stay home! Thanks!❤️
I always take baths when I need to think and take a break from my homework! I also really agree with the productive procrastination list, I work on events planning stuff for clubs and on my store when I don't want to do work.
honestly tip #5 was really smart and i didnt even realize how simple but effective that was. i literally had to pause the video to edit my notifications right then & there because i get so many and a bunch of them are unnecessary. thank you for this video, im really at a low point because its the end of the semester and ive ran out of energy and motivation to go to classes anymore. i know im almost at the end but i just get tired and irritated and i just want it to end at this point. there are about 3 weeks left in the semester and i need like an extra little push just to get me to the finish line and im hoping that i can get there with the tips you gave in this video. again, thank you so much, i really appreciate this video
Thank you so much! I'm only a freshman, but I have almostendofthesemesteritis and this is super helpful. I'm sharing this vid with my whole dorm. YOU ROCK!
Great job on this video! I really like your tip on writing out what you're going to do and when you are going to do it. I often make lists, but I don't include the times or what specifically I need to get done. College is hard! Hahaha. Thanks Kathrine!
Putting myself on a timed schedule and splitting up the work into a timetable has worked in the past for me. Thank you for reminding me of that strategy! You've given me back the motivation, which I'd totally lost, to write my English essay! Better get to it. :)
I usually don't watch these types of videos because they're a bunch of gurus telling you the obvious eg. 'eat veggies.' 'get 8-9 hours of sleep.' 'hand in assignments on time' But these videos are amazing; I've never heard of things like the BBT hack, why didn't I think of that?! subscribed :)
Thank you so much for this video! I followed the first few steps, then made coffee and emptied the dishwasher at the same time. Then I cleaned my desk while waiting for the coffee to cool off. I then got through all of my review questions for a test! I took breaks between each section but I got through it!
I know that I will definitely use the one where you allow only a few things to give you lock screen notifications. During the day I always get SO many SnapChat and Instagram notifications, so taking the lock screen notification off for them will definitely make my day better because I'm always checking social media during passing periods or trying to use my phone in class. I honestly would have never thought of doing that so thank you! I have always checked my phone way too much during school. I think this school year might be easier with using a few of your tips! :)
My tip : Go to the store , but your favorite food. Go home put , your item to the side , DO YOUR WORK or studying. Set a time ( like 30mins ) each time you finish or reach that time , you can eat/drink/etc. Do not finish everything at one go. Then keep doing it. Also put your phone to the side,or your item ,that keeps you procrastinating.
I’m going to try 1 and 3 for now, I always procrastinate and get worse grades than what I could if I didn’t and I feel this video has helped a lot, and hopefully I get better with my work
These tips are so helpful, usually when seeking advice on motivation, so many of the help offered is common sense or rather cliché, but the content of your videos is so thought provoking and causes me to reflect on my habits. Thanks so much!! I had not thought of a lot of these strategies, and the ones that help me that i do practice, I have never had verbalized or acknowledged their effect. It all makes sense now!
Just taking about a minute to sit there and think I was able to clear my mind which allowed better work. Thank you if I hadn't come across this video I wouldn't have finished my English essay on time.
Thank you, this video is exactly what I needed! I'm experiencing my first set of college finals and the work load is overwhelming, but these tips are great 👍🏽
I just found your channel and am just binge watching everything to do with studying and school and they are so helpful!! I'm so happy I found them now vs my last year of highschool :)
I'm homeschooled and I find it hard to feel motivated when I don't wake up before 11am, it's the summer holidays so I'm just watching documentaries so I don't feel like I'm not doing anything and I'm not doing too much school work because it's a yearly break
Everyone here talking about procastination but i am not doing that i didnt even have homework today cause its the 4th day of school but i just read my chapter again for good practice😇 keep going !
Currently I am studying for my bio exam but I'm definitely going to try to fit more studying in my most productive times cuz studying during the night is impossible for me 😭
Hey Katherine! I truly enjoyed your tips and some of them I had never heard before so that really great. I have been pretty unmotivated lately but I am so glad to have watched thisss! Thank you so much, I'll remember these tips!
Was that sarcasm when you said "you're only taking five classes?" I'm not from the US so I guess the school system in my country is different to yours but I literally have to take 18 classes...
I'm going to find my BPT and I'm going to lower the amount of time I expect to do be productive so the work doesn't seem as daunting :P I AM I AM I AM. Thanks for the advice K!
Are you a psychology major, too! Haha you've literally cracked the code to the mind of pretty much all college students. These are the best tips for sure and super unique. I'll definitely be using them!
Am I the only one who procrastinates by watching videos about stopping procrastination so I feel better about my procrastination lol
Amina N I do this, but find that if I prepare and clean my area, sit down with books open I watch a video about school tips and motivation etc and it's seeming to work to motivate me to continue and start productive study
Alisha Dukleski I wish I could be like that but as soon as I get on youtube i get lost in the sea of recommended videos ugh...
OMG ME HAHA
yep me as AF. I have been doing this for 3 hrs aah
Khaleesi actually me what the heck
Another tip my mom told me about the other day was to make it less convenient for yourself to procrastinate, and more convenient to get the work done.

oh my god i could not be more ecstatic about how much you got done!
Then when on Earth are you commenting this?
@@blackairforce1s133 and u commented this comment 9 months ago
Really needed this video rn. Senior year has been a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Thanks for the great tips!
Senior year crushes ya but hopefully these start to help!
K
Thank you! This helped me a LOT... I am in the highest class in our school and there are tons of projects, research and I still have to review for our exams next week. I am having trouble in making my grades higher, it is actually the second quarter already but I still haven’t reached my average of 90% and if I don’t get 91% percent this quarter I might get demoted into the second highest class in our school.
I don’t want my parents to get sad, I also don’t want to get embarassed for getting demoted. I just want my family to be proud of me and it is very embarassing on my part that I got demoted, my parents tell their friends about it a lot and I don’t want to disappoint them.
Procrastinating by watching this video.... oops.
i can't complain hehe
Ikr?
I always use the number 8, I'm able to paint the whole house, learn how to cook, saw a dress but I won't get school shit done 😂
HAHAHA at least you get something done though!

I've been subscribed since my freshman year in high school, and now I'm a senior :) Thank you again for all of your help!
Watching study motivation videos is my productive procrastination list 😂😂 Great video and tips!
I swear you should be a motivational speaker!! I LOVE all of your tips and they are always so helpful!! I am a big fan of changing my study locations and writing lists of what I am supposed to get done each day. OMG I always productively procrastinate! Last night I even procrastinated my biostats by doing chem which was great because I never want to get started on chem haha! Love the video and wishing you best of luck on your finals!
sounds like you have already been makin progress on these steps! I'm sending you all my best wishes for your first set of college finals!
#8 is my favorite and I should really put it into use instead of browsing social media
YAY SHANNON!
tip number 7 seems like it would work for me! as im watching this video i actually have a lot of work to do, but i justify procrastinating and watching youtube videos with the fact that i always get my work done no matter what. even if i put it all off until the night before, i do sit down that night and crank out all my work, and it works for me but i know its not the best method of going about it. next semester im going to try my hardest to get myself into a schedule of doing my work when it is assigned to me rather than putting it off til the night before it is due. thanks for the tips katherine!
I'm glad you're self-aware enough to recognize that tip #7 might help! i wish ya the best
Ruby Wesley me too
This is off topic but you're eyes re so beautiful

Her positivity makes me feel bad because I dont think Ive been this positve. *EVER*
Your eyes are so pretty 😍💗💗

I am procrastinating when I’m supposed to be doing boring homework by watching but this is the first video that is actually helpful
Ugggh before the 19 th, I have a ten minute speech due ***THAT HAS TO BE MEMORIZED*** , a completed project board due over the Ronald McDonald House Charities, a page over the 5 step planning process, two 300 pg. books that have to be read with book reports, plus daily homework.

quarantine really got me too depressed to finish schoolwork

I have my own and its a vital one too. Here we go "nothing is hard unless you think it is"
Thank you very much for this, as you know a lot of kids get really bored in online schooling so thank you this really helped me and I will definitely get an A+ on my assessment
First final in 43 hours and I'm as burnt out as I'll ever be. FML
Wow, THANK YOU for this video! A MUST-SAVE!! Your strategies are literally brand-new to me...which is so hard to come by AND YET, the best thing for me personally when searching for and hoping to spark some new motivation!!

JUST WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!! you're so welcome :)

My suggestion to all procrastinators:
Just eat something sweet or something you love while you do homework
Good tip because I love eating
I have Diabetes
Sharon Wang Liu directions unclear now I am obese
my parents don't let me buy what I like
I dont wanna be fat though
I was watching this to procrastinate my homework lol, but This is such a good video!!

AHH!! Always excited for Katherine's videos
you are the BEST i mean it
I liked them all, but have never thought of or heard of the productive procrastination list. Will have to give that one a try.
honestly tip #5 was really smart and i didnt even realize how simple but effective that was. i literally had to pause the video to edit my notifications right then & there because i get so many and a bunch of them are unnecessary. thank you for this video, im really at a low point because its the end of the semester and ive ran out of energy and motivation to go to classes anymore. i know im almost at the end but i just get tired and irritated and i just want it to end at this point. there are about 3 weeks left in the semester and i need like an extra little push just to get me to the finish line and im hoping that i can get there with the tips you gave in this video. again, thank you so much, i really appreciate this video
First one is good! I feel so much better when I have showered and cleaned my home. Thanks for sharing!
I will try the one for writing in my calendar on Sundays so I will be prepared to do my studying at a given time every single day
currently watching this instead of doing my bio lab
I am someone with medically diagnosed anxiety - tip seven is saving my life right now. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I'm only a freshman, but I have almostendofthesemesteritis and this is super helpful. I'm sharing this vid with my whole dorm. YOU ROCK!
her eyes are sooo pretty. so is her voice. it relaxes me.

i feel i feel
Great job on this video! I really like your tip on writing out what you're going to do and when you are going to do it. I often make lists, but I don't include the times or what specifically I need to get done. College is hard! Hahaha. Thanks Kathrine!
2 Katherout's videos on 12/1, just make this month better!
you're my fave 💗
Putting myself on a timed schedule and splitting up the work into a timetable has worked in the past for me. Thank you for reminding me of that strategy! You've given me back the motivation, which I'd totally lost, to write my English essay! Better get to it. :)
i wish i only had 5 classes...
i live in germany and have 16 classes
Dam I only got 2 classes
I think tips number 1,2,6,7 are the best for me, but I love it all. thanks kat
I really enjoy procrastinating by making detailed study plans that I will never follow lmao
I usually don't watch these types of videos because they're a bunch of gurus telling you the obvious eg. 'eat veggies.' 'get 8-9 hours of sleep.' 'hand in assignments on time' But these videos are amazing; I've never heard of things like the BBT hack, why didn't I think of that?! subscribed :)

For sure gonna try telling myself a shorter time period, just to get myself started
yayay thanks for lettin me know! wishin you the best with your motivation
Definitely shower and do alittle self care then begin picking out the location of where I’ll complete my assignments.
Tip 8 is soooooo trueeeeeee in my life. Thank you for the video! You just earned a sub
You know, I think I may want to try these things you said.
I'm going to try to change my environment and to set action triggers (although that one might only happen on Sundays lol)
two vids in one day woo0OOO! also i'm so pumped for vlogmas from you!!!!!
I'm pumped to share my life more with you all!!
I will do tip 6, 7, and 8, for sure. Love the idea of seven that will be perfect for me.
I wanna try to write a to do list very specifically like what time I’m going to do something and where I’m going to do it...
Thank you, this video is exactly what I needed! I'm experiencing my first set of college finals and the work load is overwhelming, but these tips are great 👍🏽
I needed to see this earlier! I feel like #6 and #8 will work best for me. Will most definitely try it. Thank you!
First year of college. Really needed this!
I’m actually going to try pretty much all of these!! Great video!!
Tomorrow is school after a Monday of Labor Day and now I need this even though I'm not in college
great tips! i have tests these two weeks and this got me out of the couch and put me to study, thankyou💕
thank you so much this video has opened my mind. it has pushed me to be productive and use my skills effectively. thank you once again
I just found your channel and am just binge watching everything to do with studying and school and they are so helpful!! I'm so happy I found them now vs my last year of highschool :)
the 8th one for sure. I always go to gym or do exercise to procrastinate haha. super helpful.
well at least it was something meaningful
I am gonna try the showering one, just not specifically with a shower. If this doesn't work then I'll try one of the other ways.
I'm homeschooled and I find it hard to feel motivated when I don't wake up before 11am, it's the summer holidays so I'm just watching documentaries so I don't feel like I'm not doing anything and I'm not doing too much school work because it's a yearly break
Awesome meeting you at Luke's party, subbed!
I am FLATTERED! nice meeting you too, Adam!
damn what u guys do at that party 👀
Everyone here talking about procastination but i am not doing that i didnt even have homework today cause its the 4th day of school but i just read my chapter again for good practice😇 keep going !
Currently I am studying for my bio exam but I'm definitely going to try to fit more studying in my most productive times cuz studying during the night is impossible for me 😭
Oh man, I'm gonna use these tips to complete all my holiday homework this week.
This is so so so helpful! These tips are actually different to what you always hear so it's nice to get a few new ideas to try
I am going to write out plans for every day and not use social media as much.
number 7 is a great tip!!!
Hey Katherine! I truly enjoyed your tips and some of them I had never heard before so that really great. I have been pretty unmotivated lately but I am so glad to have
watched thisss! Thank you so much, I'll remember these tips!
Was that sarcasm when you said "you're only taking five classes?"
I'm not from the US so I guess the school system in my country is different to yours but I literally have to take 18 classes...
shes in uni (college) and she gets to choose her courses
Magdalena Hopeful 18 classes!?!??!?
I have 8
Magdalena Hopeful I have 15 and I'm a freshman😫
Magdalena Hopeful UK right
This video will help out while I'm in college! Thank you so much Katherout
I'm going to find my BPT and I'm going to lower the amount of time I expect to do be productive so the work doesn't seem as daunting :P I AM I AM I AM.
Thanks for the advice K!
I am def going to try the BPT one It sounds great!

Currently watching this for motivation to do my homework
THANKS FOR THIS, it's been hell week and really stressful so this helped a lot ❤️
Are you a psychology major, too! Haha you've literally cracked the code to the mind of pretty much all college students. These are the best tips for sure and super unique. I'll definitely be using them!
I'm gonna go take a shower and hopefully have the motivation to start doing work later!! Absolutely love your videos! :D

Now I need to start implementing these tips in my life!
