I've always had a hard time being productive. I can make a "to-do list" and completely ignore it. I think I might have been a sloth in a former life.

[@thesparkle1316]

So damnnnnnnn relatable😏

[@Enialem]

that's me too :)

[@alishaw2454]

hello fellow ex sloth

[@april5402]

trust me. this has changed my life. take a personality test. specifically myers-briggs test (i think that’s how you spell it.) then, once you get your personality type, do some research on “productivity for >insert personality type here

[@baconaxolotl]

Instead of doing a to do list maybe try think of something like "if I don't draft/dot point this paragraph I can't use my phone for one hour" so you set 'punishment' so while you do get that boost for completing something you can also set accountability for yourself when to do lists don't work.

[@danielwagner9129]

For me, I found making a list of “all the things I need to get done” and a list of “all of my small daily achievements” help me be more productive. The former list clear all of my stresses out, the latter makes me feel good so I’m motivated to stay productive. 😍💕

I loved the video! I am a professional procrastinator, it's so bad that almost nothing can get me out of it anymore, or the tricks only work twice or something. Over the years I have found quite a few methods to get more motivated though: 1. Make the task you want to do visible! Leave your study books on your desk before you go to bed or put on your workout clothes right after you get up so you'll be reminded of the stuff you have to do :) 2. Do something (semi)productive as a way of procrastinating to get you in the mood of being productive! It'll help you feel better and get your motivation up so it's easier to break the procrastinating cycle. 3. This one's pretty much been covered in the video already, but write lists! Visualising what has to be done often helps me with actually getting to work. If you have too much stuff to do, though, it might be a good idea to finish some tasks before writing the list (but still including the tasks you already finished) so it doesn't seem as overwhelming! I often find myself staring at my immense to do list & ending up being so scared of it all that I just yeet to my bed and continue reading my book or watching KZbin xD Anyway, I hope anyone gets some benefits from these tips and GOOD LUCK! ♥️

[@amazing1019]

Thank you!

[@studyquill]

great ideas! thank you!

“2-ah yes my favorite number of the alphabet” 😂😂

[@sushmasharma8324]

Heyyy amiiiiii

[@whitney3196]

I can tell this going to be good even though I haven't started it

[@rndmusrnm2763]

We used to do a sort of 2-minute method in my HS English class. When we were assigned a big essay that week the teacher would give us like maybe 10 minutes to work on it everyday in class and then come look at what we had done. I don't know why but it seemed a lot more easier to write in those 10 minutes then when I had hours of free time outside of school. Especially when he'd come by to look at the work, it like held me more accountable. Some days I wouldn't even get in the mood to write but others I was just in the zone and I got so much more done and it gave me starting point for where to continue off when I got home.

[@samiy.a]

OMG. This is what we all need. One of my tricks is to make your bed! Surprisingly, my life and mind just feel so cluttered when it's not made! Another trick is to binge studyquill before bed. Lol. I watch so many of your videos in the evening. The next day I am very productive. Hehe! I enjoy your channel so much! I was just wondering...what is your number one tip for success in a student? Thanks!

[@samiy.a]

Another trick is to actually write a to-do list. Idk how this actually helps but it really does!

[@amparovaldivia3059]

And take a shower and get dressed also helps me to get into a “serious”mood

[@samiy.a]

@@amparovaldivia3059 same hehe

[@MoraCnd]

Ohh, that's amazing advice! Letting in the light. I just want to recommend readings from Cal Newport he's a professor and his books really lay out how to be a good student! 100% recommended, also if you have a second I just opened my youtube channel it's in Spanish but it has subtitles and I'll start uploading 100% in English soon. Have an amazing day!

girl u need to start a podcast! u just tricked me into writing my paper and that's saying sumn lmao

[@cloeferreira5724]

3 little things that help me: 1- put some LoFi upbeat music. 2- going on my motivation board on pinterest and being like “yassss I can do this” 3- literally just thinking (this works particularly good with school/college) “i have to do it eventually so might as well do it now and then I’ll be done” and normally you will at least start the task and that’s good cause now you just have to finish it

[@magicmira741]

Thanks for this! I have periods where I don't feel productive at all and it's really hard to do work, but now I have these methods to help me :)

I am a huge procrastinator but the 2 minute rule and the outer accountability have worked really well for me sometimes. I also like to find ways to reward myself for getting work done.

this couldnt come at a better time!! right now im trying to get my day started and im half an hour in and CLEARLY im procrastinating

[@jiline.585]

avoiding something is really my biggest weakness in accomplish tasks. I get soo overwhelmed with my to-do list that I sometimes chose to not do it. It results to me cramming stuff which is not good at all. Thank you Jasmine for your tips and tricks on being productive 💚

[@libertyurias7523]

love this! a trick i use is using food to motivate me, for example “if i finish these list of tasks, i can get chick fil a after”

[@Aurii.2222]

the extra thing my father learned me! if you have something you don't like doing considering it's boring or something then try to make it a bit fun! are you trying to do homework?? try to listen to music you don't think would disturb you! maybe you have to set something up?? try eating something you like while you're doing that one page you didn't wanna do! it makes it more fun and has helped me a lot!!

[@sophieyeon2208]

I actually really learned alot from this video. I used to do the “thinking I am already good at this” thing and I used to do harder tasks. Though it helped for a while, it started getting old (for me atleast) since Ive been using it for so long. This video helped alot:3

[@anielson6152]

I love the way you edit videos!!!!! Not only the cute doodles for title screens and graphs, but also the little clips that showcase what you are talking about in the moment, like when you talked about talking steps and you showed shots of the stairs.

[@carolinegraafland]

I really liked this video :) Even when I'm already (subconsciously?) using most of these tactics, it's really nice how you broke them down en explained the psychology behind them. And to have these summarized in a clear list is handy to refer to later when I might need it. The drawings also made it visually very pleasing and made the explanations more clear!! Really really liked this haha :)

[@lunalee6775]

wow, i really really love this video! I love how you *actually* explain how to do things in detail rather than just saying "do this" which i find many people do. thanks so much, definitely checking out your other vids!

[@sprout3994]

In my experience similar to the "Just One Step" method I have found it very useful esspecially since I have ADHD and small tasks can seem overwheling to just write down everything I need to do and how long it will take me and it helps me get a kick by doing the smaller tasks first and then getting into a flow to take on bigger more difficult steps.

Yes! The last method is my favorite. I will be sitting on my computer procrastinating my work and I'll go "Okay, well at least make a new document. Then you can go back to the video." and then if I take any sort of break I'll be like "okay, well at least open up the prompt/rubric." Those two things are like the easiest starting points for preparing to do an assignment.
