- Leonardo da Vinci - The Great Procrastinator Who Changed The World
Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci considered himself a loser?
Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most gifted and inventive men in history, a mathematician, engineer, sculptor, scientist, and one of the best painters of all time. His "Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa" are one the most popular and influential masterpieces. He was a genius who born out of curiosity and unlimited desire for knowledge. His notebooks reveal that he was centuries ahead of his time.
His inventions, journals, ideas - changed the world. Many people don't know that Leonardo da Vinci struggled most of his life. Can you Believe that He considered himself a loser, someone who had failed in life. Like me and you he faced rejection, failure and self doubt.
This is the success story of Leonardo da Vinci, the great procrastinator who changed the world.
The interesting thing is, Leonardo Da Vinci, one of the most gifted and inventive men in history never had any kind of formal education, no degree in any field. At the age of 15 Leonardo Da Vinci became a trainee under the famous sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio.
But Leonardo da Vinci became known for being unable to finish a task. As a freelancer, that is not a good quality.
He became famous for missing deadlines and not finishing the job. And that was not good for business. So now, no one would hire him. And He just hits 30!
Many Years passed before the genius of Leonardo da Vinci was noticed. Today he is known as one of the best painters of all time. But did you know that He was 46 when he completed 'The Last Supper'.
Despite excelling in everything from science to sculpture to painting he considered himself a failure, a disappointment.
He had so many interests, But spent too much time planning projects and procrastinated on actually finishing his projects.

Da Vinci is one of my biggest role models. He inspires me to pursue many different hobbies: Medicine, music, language, cooking. There's so much to learn in this world!
same here, he inspired me to draw portraits, have coffee table book of him, a most admirable human by many
Wow! He was a genius, but also an ordinary person like us! And faced self doubt like the rest of us. This was really inspiring. Don’t forget people! Don’t be too hard on yourself!
Yes! I know! How amazing is that! ❤️
What you expect, I hope I didn't think he was an alien lol
Agreed
Every human has self doubt.
Dont worship other ppl is the one way to realise this.
just another pagan ego devotee.
"Procrastination is the way of dealing with emotions like self-doubt, fear and anxiety".
I never thought about it in this way. Good video! ❤
Dealing with? Nope. Avoidance. Which makes those emotions worse
I just turned 27, I have a bachelor's degree but I still haven't found a good job. In my life I've been diagnosed with ADD, OCD, chronic depression, mild aspergers, gender dysphoria, & sleep insomnia. Most of my past attempts at relationships have been complete failures and then this year I fell in love with someone who I can't be with because our age difference is too significant so we had to break it off and I'm still really sad that the one time I actually meet someone really nice who probably wanted a committed relationship with me and ofc we can't be together because of something outside of our control like our ages. Before watching this video I was thinking the same thing that I'm a loser and a failure in life and I might as well be dead. Finding out that a great mind in history like Leonardo da Vinci understood my struggles and wasn't successful until so late in his life is probably just the thing I needed to hear right now.
same here brother.we move forward💪💪💪
He wasn't procrastinating, he just gave himself enough time to make his art perfect
lol, if you say so
@@paulwoodford1984 Da Vinci has a bazillion uncompleted projects. He just suffered ADHD. He keeps working. He didn't laze around at all.
I bet your right
Most of his "masterpieces" are only finished to about 70/80 percent. He generally ditched working on them when they where finished in his mind.
And was real displeased with his life work on his deathbed because everything was half finished.
He just had ADHD bro
Imagine dying 500 years ago, and pretty much the entire world still knows your name, and you have a piece of art that tons of people from all over the world, still travel to see.
A legacy doesn’t get any better than that.
What if Mr. Musk makes life multi planetary and some other things like speeding up the vitally important transformation to sustainable living here on Earth? Einstein, da Vinci, Tesla, Musk, Meghan Markle, Isac Newton to mention a few, that has had a huge impact on the world and a couple of families.
I wouldn’t care because I’m dead
You are so sick with your ego.
@@robertm3561 Wow. I can't believe you include Musk and Markle in that list. You need to read a book some time. All those other people you mentioned actually invented and discovered things that nobody else could. Musk and Markle have never come close to this.
@@chunkyMunky329 But Meghan Markle invented ..the new race war.. and Mr Musk revolutionised the car- & space industry.
And here I am procrastinating thinking 'I still have time '(until the last minutes before deadline). Da vinci is amazing🔥
As a person who suffers from severe ADHD, this has to be the most uplifting video I've ever watched on TH-cam. Now I'll just persist pursuing the multitudinous tangents of interest that I just can't control until I eventually make it, somehow, hopefully.
Also letting go and just getting shit done that needs to get done no matter how poor the execution is something I have to adopt and it was touched on so straightforwardly in this video. Big Up ✊🙏
What helps me is to realize that even though I'm interested in a lot of things I can still narrow it down if I had to. So if you like baseball, but you also like cooking, and you had to chose only one and you lose the other you'll find that one is more important to you, even if by the width of a hair. Then once you know what the most important thing is to you you can dedicate yourself to that craft, and get really good at it. It feels amazing to get good at something.
super Severe ADHD sufferer here myself, and yes no matter what the brain craves and flies towards, incremental minimal changes in behaviors and thoughts complement each other will create a much bigger change, the timer technique or "Pomodoro" technique is great at helping one keep motivated for short spurts and be able to accomplish lot more than you initially thought you could. Best of luck my friend!
@@raylax7056 Indeed. You should see my solution for that. I have close to a hundred different timers for mundane tasks that I set on my phone. I turn a timer for one on that I know needs doing, usually it's cooking related, and then I go and do another task that requires my immediate attention. The timer will go off for the previous task when it's time and remind me to turn my attention there. Don't know how many times this simple practice has saved me a lot of burnt dinners 🤣 Pomodoro is definitely effective. Thanks for the tip mate. Best of luck to you as well. 👍
If you keep doing the execution, you can only get better
I now realize that I have a fear of failure, so I procrastinate a lot. Even sometimes I select too many good videos on youtube in case I watch them, but there will be only so many unwatched tabs.
He is really the most amazing human being ever existed
Yes! ❤️❤️
Close but..Jesus Christ is the most amazing human being to ever exist!!!
Actually, Jesus Christ FAR supersedes that.
@@watitiz188 We know Leonardo existed. There is no direct evidence that Jesus existed. I don't see any of his paintings hanging in a gallery. I don't recall a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle being named after Jesus.
@@Hotsauce-cj7kj ❤5p
I just watched the video. Leonardo da Vinci is one of the Most Inspiring Painter and Personality I heard about. Thank you for telling us his Inspiring Story who always make me believe in Creativity.
Oh my ears are hearing calm sound again! Thank you for motivation!
Wow! Thank you dear! ❤️❤️
I appreciate you making these videos and this video came at the perfect time, thank you so much
I'm so happy you found it helpful! Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️
If he was alive I'd be like: "Oh my GOSH! Sir, I'm a big fan."
Dreams without goal is just a dream
So many talents Leonardo da Vinci
Simply put, the most inquisitive mind to ever exist.
So much needed to hear this now! Thank you! I started my thesis last semester. My university allows 2 semesters to complete the thesis. I worried so much that I passed one whole semester doing nothing. I am still worried and panicking but this time I allocated 2 hours everyday to my thesis. And yes! I do feel a lot better. Still panicky, but better. I have ADHD too, but I think I've managed it a bit with self care.
Wow! I'm so proud of you dear! You are doing amazing! You got this! ❤️❤️❤️
Please, pass your thesis. My university allowed us only 1 semester to pass the thesis. And here below was my journey of hell. Please. Do what they tell you. Don't be creative. Don't be perfectionistic. Make it very standard, basic. Each time, pick the very first article you find regarding a certain chapter. Does it answer the question of the chapter? Great. Next chapter. Don't look for anything more. If you fall in the trap of procrastination and perfectionism, it can get very very ugly.
2017, semester 1, 3x different thesis proposals rejected.
2017, semester 2: thesis #1 rejected. Resit 2 months later, also rejected.
2018, semester 2: thesis #2 rejected. Resit denied because it was ''too bad''.
Examination board rules that I did not receive feedback on time on several occasions. Extension given, resit allowed after all.
2019, semester 1: thesis #2 resit rejected.
Disagreement supervisor (want to approve thesis) & assessor (want to reject thesis) so third opinion has to decide: rejected.
2019, semester 2: forced to take a break due to severe depression, anxiety. completely ruined psychologically. can't function properly. almost losing my mind. didn't seek help.
2020, semester 1: thesis #3 accepted. Graduated. Still experiencing severe anxiety and depression after graduation. Discovered I have ADHD.
2021, second half, finally things are feeling better.
ADHD doesn't exist. The medical and pharmaceutical industries invented it. Just grow up and stop laziness.
40+ is just the start of an artist’s life, blossom & shine!
He is my inspiration thankyou so much for making this
It was a pleasure dear! He is really amazing! ❤️❤️
@@inspireyourselfnow ily ❤
The title shocked me. A procrastinator!!!!!!!!! I am struggling with overcoming this nasty habit. Wish me pls. And some tips are really welcome
I was shocked too! I also struggle with procrastination dear! The only thing that works when motivation is not there is taking a simple action. If I need to practice yoga, I put on my yoga mat. And one action leads to another. If I have to study, I grab my book and read one page. I try to make it as painless as possible. Remember, just the smallest action will lead you to completing your task. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh! I did not think in that way ever. Always I think that procrastination is harmful but when the time for work comes I feel 'huh. Will do it later. Let's enjoy li'l more' Thank you for this amazing suggestion. Thanks a lot. I will surely comment the day I am out this trap of procrastination. Thanks a lot once again 🙏🙏
Inspire Yourself I would love to get regular one-on-one sessions with you concerning that please.
An advice on procrastination that follows below was not written by me but by someone else. I put it here for you as it may help you as it did for me:
'Procrastination is often linked to a desire for perfection. Anxiety arises from fear of missing it. It can be crippling and a walk or doing a less intimidating drawing exercise can break the pattern, as long as you come back to whatever you were procrastinating (or you’ll train yourself to keep avoiding similar situations!). Break it down into manageable chunks, and don’t think too far ahead. Also tell yourself that no one and nothing is truly perfect and doing the best you can is always better than doing nothing. '
Intelligent people are filled with doubts, while fools are filled with confidence.
u seem quite confident in.what.u.write
@@MMABeijing you think so?
@@IAmWhatIAm7573 good come back, I think but really I don't really know anything about anything :)
@@MMABeijing …and you seem to be full of doubts, am I right?
How does “if there is doubt, there is no doubt” fit into the equation?
Beautiful
Whoever you are I love your voice alot
Thank you so much dear! ❤️❤️
Love your voice keep inspiring.
procrastination is not low self esteem, or anxiety. It's marinading
Perfectionism is usually the cause of procrastination.
Thanks for this video. I'm also a procrastinator and sometimes feel ashamed when I'm unable to complete even simple tasks. Now I know how can I deal with it.
Good! Procrastinating until 46 before becoming the next da Vinci!
He was a philosopher of life...like most people of his day. Unlike the people of today.
One of my favorite people ever
Amazing story I too love painting even if am not good I think of it as a way to stop procrastinating 😊😍
Thank you dear! You are amazing! ❤️❤️
He is a genius thanks Inspire yourself
It was a pleasure dear ❤️❤️
Wow, Thank you so much ma'am for this video. Your videos always inspire mee..... thanks for the tips for stop procrastination..... May you touch the sky one day..... Gbu ma'am 🥰
My pleasure 😊! Thank you so much for watching dear! ❤️❤️
He is definitely one of the brightest, most creative, and most visionary minds of all time. But people really overestimate his influence on the world because of this. He didn't influence science or technology very much because he never publishes his work, and he didn't influence art as much because he only did less than 20 paintings in his lifetime (for comparison, Van Gogh painted 900 paintings in the last few years of his life).
Even if you publish work, it doesn't mean anything. I figured out the psychological mystery of what motivates industrious people, but it's not really influencing modern psychology, or at least not that I know of. No one has contacted me to tell me that what I discovered has meaning, or value.
@@cbalan777 what did you discover?
@@marianadedeus8142The value of art is change. The changes of the artist and, subsequently, the changes made by the art unto the viewer.
@@marianadedeus8142 I have a video about it on my channel, but the TLDR version is that industriousness is motivated by the desire to equal the divine, with "divine" being something like "the natural world".
@@cbalan777 yeah, even Newton almost didn't publish his work if not for Edmund Halley
"Tell me if anything was ever done. Tell me if I ever did a thing - " Leonardo da Vinci
Where is that quote from?
He's the definition of passionately curious
My hero
This video came to me when I was feeling very low, was feeling like a failure, like my curiosity is burning me alive. Its as if the universe is signaling me to charge forward. Thank you my friend
Thank you needed this

Thank you so much🙏💕
This is a great video to watch while procrastinating.
He was known as a procrastinator during his lifetime and mocked for it to his face allegedly by Michelango (in regards to the incomplete horse sculpture) so this is not conjecture. He accomplished wondrous things during this lifetime in various fields, including mapping, river diversions, painting etc., that made him a coveted, paid advisor to various kings and heads of state, but was also famous for some notorious failures. The Last Supper was painted with a faulty technique that made it deteriorate immediately after completion, for example.
There's hope, Awesome!
I'm ADHD, and I can relate to this completely!
Thank you like Leonardo our story is great too.
I have a learning disability. I also have problems focusing due to all the things that I want to do. When the brain clutters it's difficult to keep going. I just took a break for a few months. I'm back to being creative. One month I created 500 art works. I'm also a music composer. I created about 3 songs a day with breaks in between. I'm always busy. It's the only way to keep creating.
The best vedio for me😊😊😊❤❤ lots of love Mam❤❤❤
I'm so happy to hear that! ❤️❤️❤️
Needed this!
Thank you.
Thank god; I still have time.
He is a genies
It's like you're in grade school reciting something.
If he wouldn't have ADHD, insecurities and this stuff, he would work in a grocery store behind the cashier and be happy. Especially if he could focus on small 5 minute tasks. With all his amazing work, he did compensate for the lack of feeling enough. All the great procrastinate. Even Elon Musk. When he said he is working like crazy hours... Yes he did, but believe me, he accounted thinking into that because the nature of his job is to decide what is the right thing to do... He is thinking most of the time...then he paid his workers to do what he thought is the right thing. But the one without procrastination, these are the people that can work like a nurse job for example.
Da vinci was inventor,musk is more of a mover of things
amazing content im not gonna lie really hits the nail on the head of procrastination and just taking the smallest action
Probably needed that.
2 more years to procrastinate, then I’ll really get myself going at 46 lol.
thank you so much for this video!
While growing up, i had a tendency to take my time and work slowly, it felt more natural as i was working to go at a slow pace, and let my inspiration drive what i do. Our society does not like that. I began to procrastinate to force myself to complete work in a short amount of time. I am now extremely fast and efficient in what i do. I think the obsession with speed and efficiency discourages some great works from happening. You can't let the art happen naturally, like a meditation. There's no time to wait for inspiration to strike.
perfection exists.
I'm glad to have met him.
thank you
This video is such a masterpiece ❤ Touched my heart... I want u to reveal yo face ☺
Thank you so much dear! Maybe one day ❤️❤️
Thanks for posting 👍
It was a pleasure ❤️❤️
You are back
Yeah!!! 😚😚❤️
I'm happy to be back! I hope you enjoyed the video dear! ❤️❤️
@@inspireyourselfnow of course always love your videos !! ❤️
Great lesson to learn ❤❤❤
I really doubt that he was "just procrastinating and worrying" like the video suggests.
How was he procrastinating? He did exactly what the video suggested as a solution. He made plans for great projects and broke them down into countless small steps, which he also followed: he did tons of research, learned new skills for his projects, practised them, made imperfect sketches, kept working on them, improved them over and over again and so on...
He didn't just "sit around doing nothing", he didn't just "worry about his tasks", he did a lot of work, most of it was preparation for the project, but that's what all creative work is - over 90% of the work is skillpractise, brainstorming ideas and preparationwork, that most people ignore or even dismiss when the final project doesn't get finished.
Even "normal" jobs consist mostly of learning specific skills, practise, preparation, thinking and planning, even housechores. Cooking a simple meal consists of brainstorming ideas what to cook, buying ingredients, preparing dishes and tools, a lot of cleaning all kinds of stuff before and after, mixing stuff together and learning all kinds of specific skills before that, then practising them and improving all the time... When you add everything up, the same conclusion stands - most of the time and work going into a meal is invisible to someone who just wants to eat something, and I'm not even counting factors like collecting cooking utensils, building kitchens and other cooking areas, growing the food and all the preparations and maintanance going into that... The final effect is just a fraction of all energy put into something.
What if someone goes through all the steps and the food gets burned in the end? All the work, no meal to show for it. Would anyone call that procrastinating or worrying?
The difference between cooking and working on novel, revolutionary projects is just, that most people understand cooking and help eachother with many steps to bring about the final effect quicker and easier. We are forgetting to count in the work of carpenters, plumbers, electricians, farmers, sellers and so on, into preparation time for our meal. Many artists and and groundbreaking engineers, on the other hand, do most of the steps in a project on their own, because the time they would have to spend on explaining their project to people who are unable or unwilling to undertsand the details (or even the main concept sometimes), they could just spend imrpoving and testing their project. It's actually logical and more efficient to limit the amount of participators in some projects, but the downside of that is, that people who don't know what happens behind the curtain, will judge the time between putting an order and the final result, as idle work or lost time..
my experience of being a life long self acknowledged master proctastrinator taught me to trust myself and the value of the work and procrastinate precisely because of not accepting limiting growth of abiding interesof ittobut go with its flow while maximising the rewards in itself
Leonardo Da Vinci was no failure even at age 20
My build with this video would be that it doesn’t delve into how Da Vinci overcame his problem. Would have been nice to see more linkage there
Please make a video for motivation to study, please
Sure! ❤️❤️
Wow! So, i guess there's still hope for us. At 45 i hope it's not too late to do something with my life then. Although, i am definitely not a genius. Damn.
Choose one project and focus on it... forget the rest. You may not be able to finish it, but you will learn something important: Discipline for the next one.
You are best i love your videos
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
I am confident. I am brave.
I've always told myself, if I had 500 years I could accomplish things others don't even think about. But I don't have that time and reincarnation isn't real, so I'll just have to make my mistakes and learn as I go on. Which makes my brain want to turn and spin, but as this video states time isn't on my side.
Your voice is so cute; you sound like BMO
✨💚🥺💓🥰💙✨
Mam your voice is so soothing
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
@Jatin Arya I think her voice is soothing too!
What's my story?
I got one of the most important exams of my life about 14 days later which will decide my further destination and if I really could fulfill my dreams, and not become a burden for my country.
And to motivate me, I don't know when my mind split in three, the other two are like Brothers for me as they are always with me (weird but true, I noticed things like I forgot something or can't really come up with a better decision on what to do, those voices give me solutions I would've never come up with).
I don’t know why, but nowadays I kinda feel like that, I had wasted time and now time wastes me.
One push up... I think im ready to do this
damn I needed this right now.
Really inspiring
iam completely matched to him!🙂😞
Amazing
Great video..
I think there is perfection
I love this channel
This was a really good video thank you. But I just realized something. You sound like BMO from adventure time lol
It doesn't sound like he procrastinated. It sounds like he just worked a lot and was dedicated to perfecting his knowledge and craft. In other words, he was more interested in the work for its own sake rather than satisfying his patron's desires.
Yeah I don’t read procrastination in this plus we know that ‘art is never really finished’
My Ph.D. is taking 8 years, and I've done a ton of research, I've got hundreds of pages of summaries, devised some algorithms, I know they'll work, but for no reason I postpone the submission of my papers and final defense, I consider it as not being enough ...
Finish it Goddamn it, just finish it ...
“I was whack, now I’m cool.” -Leonardo Da Vinci
When i hear about genius’s who ‘suffer’ from ADHD, i wonder, would they be a Genius without the ‘suffering’?
I believe suffering is necessary part of human expression…without it, we are just not relatable to anyone.
Probably the case. Some with ADHD can go into hyper fixation mode. That thing where he studies horses for years is probably a sign of it. A genius with hyper fixation is like a bodybuilder juiced to the gills with roids. As a "side effect" though, he only completed a few works. But those works are worth millions now. And even his uncompleted works are worth millions.
@@N0noy1989 nah anyone can go into hyper fixation. ADHD is a disability and in the 100+ years that it’s been documented and studied, there is not a single benefit that ADHD people have been shown to have over a control group.
According to Gretchen Rubin's 4 tendencies it's very likely Da Vinci was a rebel personality. They have difficulties to fulfil not only outer expectations, but also inner expectations. That's one of the most common reasons for procrastinating regarding for example a freelance job (= outer expectations) or private projects he was interested in and he wanted to finish for himself (= inner expectations). Rebels reject both!
Imagine if he lived in this century
Yes! ❤️❤️
Now there are 24 yr old “youth pastors” telling people how their spiritual and personal lives should be lived. Smh 🤦🏼♂️
I picked up the Isacsson book. Sometimes you understand how hard a task really is whether its a painting or making music. You know you want to use this canvas this paint or this producer. THE PROCESS will cause procrastinator. Even working a car I know that I am going to have issues with a certain part or bolts.
I AM VERY PROSPEROUS, HEALTHY AND WEALTHY EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY.
Interesting episode ❗💯👍
I HAVE HOPE!!!
❤️❤️❤️

It is not procrastination, people this day use this word whenever they see someone laying or staying still which in reality people tend to take time off to think about things further and it isn't necessarily wasting time. it is a part of the whole process of creating something unique.
