Why is it so hard to sit down and study or work

[@void3381]

I'm literally watching this while getting distracted from studying.

[@christophersimms9128]

Turn off your internet when you study

[@spygorilla8770]

Christopher Simms That’s hard when you have use the internet for your assignment

[@void3381]

Christopher Simms Good advice.

[@MegaYoungday]

Welcome to KZbin lol

[@stupidboy1746]

me to man i have little days left whis me luck

[@TheDarkever]

In a nutshell: 1. Set a goal you want for yourself. 2. Imagine the result when you will be successful 3. Also imagine the small steps that will mark your improvement. 4. Imagine your failure if you don’t reach that goal. 5. Reward yourself for your efforts with something you enjoy.

[@mathiasm2626]

Reward is not a good form of motivation. Though the fear of losing a reward is much help.

[@azanr6360]

:D

[@henripech5276]

TheDarkever why can we just contemplate life ; not searching for goals or motivation; just walking through this non sense life and contemplate her beauty?

[@henripech5276]

@The Recipe yeah....

[@trollfacenationalist3653]

I just realized you have 2 forms of success. 1. Working Together peacefully - Martin Luther King Jr or 2. Conquer your foes. - Sun Tsu - Hitler

[@GeekyMino]

Imagining the best and worst case scenario is a great technique. Thanks for another great video!

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Glad you're here budd. Hope you enjoyed the ideas.

[@GeekyMino]

Yes I did. Keep'em coming :)

[@skqkicicieiodofofof6893]

Project Better Self I like your videos very much. They can help people that don't know what they want. Very useful, really

[@trollfacenationalist3653]

Human Beings are really flawed and fragile. One small step will lead to One Bad Day. :(

[@Mura-bot]

I was going to study, yet here I am watching this.

[@itzgelo3621]

I couldn't study because my mother always told me "you play 1 hour and then you MUST STUDY." Simply, I started to making pauses like: 1 match 2 pages 1 match 2 pages etc. THIS WORKED!

[@muslimah_174]

Waittt I need to try thiss

[@Ouchthathurt843]

I feel like this a great idea but as someone with ADHD I struggle to stop doing things, especially it's something I enjoy. I might end not coming back to what I was supposed to be doing.

[@rodigoduterte9192]

My laziness is outmaneuver my *productivity* , so that why i clicked this video

[@haileycandeza-solano]

Rodigo Duterte why would you use a president's name in your account and miss a letter in his first name?

Wow this was really interesting and motivational *returns to play fortnite*

Video game is such a waste of time

[@v.rprasad5377]

😫

[@qsqlalalaladawville1316]

🤔🤔😔🤔 that's true bruh

[@mattiassjodin8838]

Dude this helped me so much for real. I just stopped gaming but still had no motivation to do the things i wanted to do, but after watching this video and setting concrete goals (as in "im going to finish this book and learn every concept so that i get an A") as well as the things i want to avoid (having to tell my parents "i didnt get accepted" to the college i want to get into) i felt a bit of motivation return to me! I love these types of videos!

[@Furyy-gn7bl]

where are you now in your live ?

[@jeriljm6331]

Wow, I am doing those things you said. You know, I was so lazy at college but so productive at my work. I wonder why is that. Now I have realized that in comparison, for my work I have a clear view of what I want to achieve from it and what if I fail to do it properly. While I was doing college because my parents told me to go and I just follow that direction. I need to make this trick for my already 6 years running-college as well so I have at least the motivation to finish it and not waste my parents' money and my time. Great vid mate.

[@MegaYoungday]

I feel like overthinking is a good demotivator. It feels like we know too much about ourselves and knowing certain things interrupts the natural reactions to circumstance our brain has because it causes us to think more about the problem or solution. But never allowing us to take action. But that's​ might just be me lol.

[@Furyy-gn7bl]

it's not you lan, i have the same problem

[@tahaosman791]

This kind of videos seems like a new style about awareness that should have existed before. I love it. Keep going bro ^^

[@songoten1218]

Bro, smthg to beat laziness... Coz I make my goals and work toward them for a while, then just lose focus and binge watch some anime or play a new game instead. I know it's wasting my time, but it's like some sort of monster addiction.

[@raresmocanu1743]

This is a whole lot easier to comprehend than "having to do a preplanned sequence of actions to escape from the unbearable present to the ideal future, embodying the hero archetype and ascending the dominance hierarchy" :) Not to say those ideas are bad or anything, but they're not very easy to spread

[@sheepy3545]

you do realise these are jordan's ideas as well

[@raresmocanu1743]

shee py course I do. Seems like my final sentence totally missed it's intended meaning. Should have said "versions" or "formulations" instead of ideas. Sorry bout that...

[@hosheckler7878]

THIS IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT JORDAN PETERSON SAID

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

Working hard towards our goal is extremely important. Great video man.

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Hey thanks! Unleashing potential - I like that.

[@binozia-old-2031]

and smart

[@criosovereign]

Well now I really want to work out, even though thats not what I wanted to do originally...

[@videakias3000]

i am so glad that internet exists and people can easily search for solutions to their problems.

[@danynata9337]

By jordan b peterson Apart from that, great video

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Of course, credit is given where is due. His program is also in the description. This is just another formulation of the ideas he talks about.

[@limitless1692]

Jordan Peterson indeed :)

[@zach2352]

Danynata & his shoes I mean it's in the description, apart from that, Great comment.

[@Splat654]

motivating yourself by also imagining a failure scenario, is the thing i never though about. Might be helpfull

[@DzaMiQ]

Days, weeks, months... for me even years

[@seoulting28]

4:16 Thanks, dude. -Do the visualisation -Write your goals -Get up -Do stuff

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

:)

[@ThePianoFortePlayer]

I like the concept of visualizing what you want to avoid in addition to visualizing what you want

[@ayushibhandari7787]

This is the best channel I have seen till now❤️❤️

[@xxrobohorse64xx]

My depressive episode destroyed my ability to feel emotions lol.

[@bigdog4166]

This is the best video I've watched to help get my life in order thanks

[@keyorempi]

It's hard because of videos like this.

[@MrPanSzymon]

I literally watch a video about why I'm not studying right now when I should be studying so badly at the moment...

[@audioteb]

great channel...thx for your efforts...keep going bro

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Glad you liked the channel, seriously that really means a lot! :)

[@Wonderous_Valley]

I'm still a KID AND this IS a different topic and I just wanna say this so ye.. , I think most kids are bored in Quarantine, I wanna get up from my bed and stop playing and wasting my time but what I think and say or do never really happens.. I think I'm demotivated and this video doesn't really help but fix my problem til I reach a point in time where I the perfect example for this video.. I have no one to talk to in the outside world, no friends to call or chat with or like real people who you want to be able to express your interests and emotions in your every morning and moment.... I mean... I have summer projects I have to be doing but I just can't do it.. Idk why.. But I feel really lonely and bummed out since my dad is also workin' as a nurse in a place where I can't see him sleep and tell us 'GOODNIGHT'... maybe a little too old till I hear him again....?

[@victoria_scott]

Where was this channel all my life? Wait... it doesn't have a million subscribers, what!?

[@timaaldoseri7687]

Compnation of getting away... getting somewhere 👌

[@vishalsuryawanshi3813]

We can make this world little better helped me get to work....

[@GabrielLima-qs7du]

this video is going to save my life

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture5535]

Are your videos even monetized? Btw good stuff.

[@missinggreys5052]

Strangest combo of music but I liked it! simple, straight forward. inspirational...

[@sebastianfeuerstein9306]

Great Vid Bruh, Loved the graphics.

[@PreciousIvy]

but what if the worst scenario is not really that devastating? for example you want to workout, but you are naturally skinny. so the best scenario is looking more fit, and the worst scenario is you looking average...

[@sonic66646]

Kyungsoup is Yummy Yeah, I agree, the extreme example in the video makes it less helpful

[@Insparedes]

Your workout to feel fit, not look fit.

[@oscaravalos6026]

You are doing something to help mankind, and that's great bro!

[@nehakumaripandey1851]

Thanks for your help i was in a big confusion but now I know what's going on with me.. It meansmeans me a lot a heartily thank you

[@shenkeey]

It makes sense, but its often times a lot simpler. Eating is a goal that gives you pleasure. Studying doesn't give you pleasure - it's a LONG TERM goal that might give pleasure in the future. You function because of pleasure. Physical: avoid things that cause pain and do things that give you pleasure (which is why drugs are addictive). Psychological: avoid emotional pain (if impossible: negative feedback loop --> depression) and do things that are pleasurable. A long term, rather grey goal as ''career building'' just isn't as palpable as, say, playing a short-term pleasurable videogame. What can you do? Well not a lot. But you can, for example, condition yourself: give yourself a SHORT TERM pleasure afterwards. Like studying, and afterwards drink a starbucks coffee (ONLY IF YOU COMPLETE IT, you can't drink it without doing the activity). Now you make your goal short term, and therefor more palpable. Also, going to the library helps make it more easily mentally digestable too. Good luck.

[@shenkeey]

The idea in the video is good, and also correct. But it doesn't touch upon the fact that cognition isn't as powerful as limbic activity. You're FIRST emotional, and AFTERWARDS explain why you're emotional. That's why its better to change emotional behavior (which isn't long term) first and AFTERWARDS really drill it in with the idea in the video.

[@fretzenearances1134]

Thank You so much, I am studying for board exam. I hope I can reach my goals.

[@Fo2shstein]

This video is way better than I thought it would be! Thank You!

[@adi8784]

I don't wanna do the negative visualization thing. I thing you shouldn't live in the fear of what could be just to "force yourself up" to do something. I don't wanna be like that. Instead I would just like to work because I have a goal and want to fulfill it..

[@ghassenjabri959]

i was thinking is was "another" video about motivation , but it is very beneficial

[@MegaYoungday]

Getting away & getting somewhere. Interesting.

[@justasidecharacter435]

Im sat down avoiding my revision and watching this instead

[@tylerdurden6992]

you need motivation when you dont want to do it. Just do what you love is the secret to sucess

[@thyagraj85]

I decided to sit down and study but then I opened KZbin to watch this.

[@cplucci2212]

Wow a lot of what you say relates to Jordan Peterson's ideas

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Great observation.Wanted to elaborate on those ideas and simplify them so they can be easily animated and shared.

[@HornetCucumber]

I am even procrastinating on watching this video

[@rebellefleur4533]

thank you for this. I really needed that

[@Kiddlekud]

I'm not depressed. I just don't care for what I have to study for. I am actually really motivated to work out and eat healthy but I'm just not interested in studying what I went to school for.

[@theonetrueking3612]

I'm not lazy, I just have no energy for boring things

[@greg8510]

icantdoanything i can't even get up bc i just do not care i've asked people everything and nothing has helped i'm convinced i'll never change

[@KingOfGamesss]

'Sad', 'Depressed', 'Unmotivated', 'Angry', 'Furious', 'Upset', 'Frustrated', 'Lonely', 'Bored', 'Disgusted', 'Horrified', 'Disturbed', 'Annoyed' AND most of all...'Disillusioned'...I'm a lost cause (but at least I'm not 'Scared', 'Afraid' or 'Terrified'...yet)

[@randumbskits8582]

The thing I like to do, or the reward, is the exact same thing I'm trying to get away from.

[@TargeTOrane]

thankyou for this from now i will be following your feeds

[@nocounterplay2966]

great video :) The background music gave me the chills tho

[@eeurr1306]

Giving my self a reward is bullshit, its nothing I cant do without studying.

[@RameshKumar-so3lh]

Thanks for such valuable information. I am gonna crack my exam and lose 10-12 kg of weight

[@coldenhonner148]

Came here because I went to college to study filmmaking and become a filmmaker. Graduating this year and I feel no motivation to find a job do projects, or anything. I think there might be something wrong with me and I think I might have wasted money going to college.

[@kristian7624]

Thanky you, i will this for my next goal :)

[@kristianzilinec1913]

Depression is not about being sad

[@Richman4066]

I needed this

[@Optimistas777]

The music is creepy and doesn't fit

[@t.r.1457]

Optimistas777 - Yep, I had to mute it at some point and put on / read subtitles. It crept me out, made me feel very uncomfortable, couldn't focus on his words anymore.

[@kamikan22]

was the music the real reason? or the lack of motivation? 🤔hue hue

[@t.r.1457]

Kamikan 22 - Hue hue ;-D. Well... I said to myself: Imagine you move on in the internet and by chance you miss the most valuable information of your life. I imagined then, if I make the effort to stay, how my life would improve, and my health and the whole environment surrounding me. And then, then I pushed the mute button and sought the subtitles. And the rest is history... The world is now a better place because of my effort to imagine the positive outcome :-), exactly like the video predicted ;-).

[@mathewm6990]

Now this is a proven way entitled in a good short video

[@chickenshieee]

Jordan Peterson but good job on making this one

[@irexeresp2659]

I love your videos. And I'll definitely put this into practice to be 100% motivated. Have a great day :)

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Glad you liked it, and I'm really happy that you're going to use the ideas. Wish you all the best!

[@glorytoarstotzka330]

i have a problem with motivating myself , i can't give myself good stuff because i get those good stuff anyways and there arent avialable better good stuff i can profit of , and i'm also not affected by getting away , my mindset kinda accepts bad stuff instead of fixing them so i guess im stuck

[@marisamunoz2097]

I've been dealing with the issue of making a goal and still not being motivated. Imagining my success acts like a reward in my brain and its enough to forget about it. How lazy and pathetic! I need help!

[@virakbothprum8772]

I love it !

[@mkmalikcom]

Really an amazing work. You hit the nail.

[@pamelatorres156]

School is what takes away your motivation to achieve anything because years of coercion and having no control over your life kills your desire to learn and you're taught at a very early age that life in general is arduous, disappointing, and miserable. The only 'goals' were getting excellent grades, which in retrospect mean absolutely nothing in the long run. You are taught to fear failure because that's always closely associated with punishment, persecution and humiliation. Oh as far as working out, whether you lose weight or not...you still die.

[@ShaelRiley]

What if you have clearly defined goals but believe them to be impossible, or, at least, have been unable to determine an actionable way to pursue them, leaving you in a similarly aimless state?
