[@clemencebertoli1591]

Watching this video while procrastinating... Who's with me?

[@garylake1497]

Yeah,😫🥴 and I hate myself for it 😞

[@arashbabadinoroozi5262]

😂

[@Mr.Dario_P]

Actually I put this on as I was clearing up stuff from a room I’ll be moving out of next October. I was getting stuff done, but I kept on thinking “You’re late on schedule and you’re procrastinating.” Does this count?

[@drone9336]

Same 😂

[@laurieeichorst2121]

Yep😂

[@KikiJRT]

The regulating exercise was my aha moment. I started doing this exercise and my to-do list is becoming my ta-dah list. I'm grateful.

[@Elyssa-Smith]

I'm so so happy you found the exercise helpful! YAY for a ta-dah list! So great! Thanks for watching!

[@hijlkemarketing]

This is amazing. Imagine a world of people who don't procrastinate?! How much better the world would be because of it.

[@Elyssa-Smith]

Isn't that an amazing thing to think about? Such an inspiration to work for! Thank you for watching!

[@SAY1MY1NAME1]

I'd say a world where we could remove all unnecessary traumas as parents guardians and peers. Then I think we'd see all sorts of benefits with one of them being no more unhealthy levels of procrastination

[@SAY1MY1NAME1]

I'm not sure if it would be for this to happen or a byproduct but I think we need a big culture shift in terms of western winning and success culture and capitalist/financial based value system because it doesn't promote time to teach and learn each child as an individual but rather traumatically forces them into cookie cutter shapes which they might not quite fit but it forces them to put on a mask and go do the world proud without any regard for them and who they are. Most of us seem to only be figuring out who we are closer to 40...

[@MariaAdeleRosenfeld]

I love how the speaker breaks down this information to make it accessible and practical to apply to my daily life! So many good takeaways!

[@Elyssa-Smith]

I will definitely use the calming technique here, I have always speculated but am not sure if procrastination is the symptom of a bigger problem in life.

[@KikiJRT]

Elyssa is phenomenal. I can truly relate with procrastinating. It was a coping mechanism that I’ve embraced. Thank you Elyssa for this most helpful and inspiring talk.

[@Towficislam786]

😂 I'm thinking the same

[@꽃-h3z]

I tend to procrastinating because I was usually doing good in my early year, but now as I get older I don't get the result as I've always receive. So I'm always afraid to start doing my tasks because my work gonna be not good enough.

[@RachelJaneBoleyn]

What an amazing talk, thank you Elyssa!

[@Elyssa-Smith]

AH thank you so much, lovely! Thanks for watching!

[@Elyssa-Smith]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching - I hope you find it useful!

[@missjsews]

This is was a great talk and I am saving this so I can use the strategy later. I’ve recently adopted a policy of doing the thing I want to do the least, first in the day and that is working greatly so far. I am also trying to respect my mood to some degree by doing the physical tasks when I feel strong and the mental tasks when I feel most alert and creative. I’m a work in progress but your calming exercise will be used regularly for sure. Thank you

[@roxanneking-clark270]

Such an inspiring talk!

[@Elyssa-Smith]

Thank you so much! And thank you for watching!

[@kmcgheecoaching]

[@kalpnaratnani4039]

This was really very good and relatable. More people need to see this.

[@Galaxy_Grenade]

I think I really needed this… Every day I find myself doing anything I can instead of my school work (I’m in gr10) whether it be social media to just walking around my room to even thinking of all the excuses to get more time to work.. and when I get more time I procrastinate that!! I feel like I’m wasting my time all my life and that there’s always someone better than me that I’ll never be so why should I bother to even try ? Maybe that’s my tinyT?? I hope one day I’ll make it out of this prison I’ve put myself in
