For those of you who are wondering whether I published that curiosity video that I was procrastinating on, you can check it out here 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yaj7mc35-g0.html

Such great information! I wouldn’t ever have thought about productive procrastination, but your explanation makes total sense and I can use it! Thank you! I have to say at least one time in every video I literally laugh out loud. I really appreciate such useful information as well as your sense of humor 😂

@DanFox 3 года назад

Glad to hear it! And I appreciate you watching! 😉

Dan, so true! Sometimes a project needs more time for all the pieces to fall into place, and often the best ideas come when we don't focus on getting the idea! Thank you for sharing this perspective, it resonates, so glad that procrastination is good for you. And, I'm curious about your next video😀

@DanFox 3 года назад

It seem we're all curious, eh? 😉🤣 I'm glad this resonated for you!

@storiesfromasuperhost8086 3 года назад

procrastination because you are so curious your still studying how you want to chat about it but your still learning so much more and want to give all the information you are learning.. :-)

@DanFox 3 года назад

Indeed! 🤣

Once again, I feel like I just visited my therapist (which I don't actually have, but maybe should). Thank you for sharing such great, useful insight into this topic; I feel less negativity toward myself now and understand how to leverage procrastination and not allow it to be a discouragement. This is great!

@DanFox Год назад

A little bit of self awareness goes a long way to not needing a therapist 🤣 and glad you found it helpful. Sometimes it can just be relieving to know that others struggle with the same stuff, you know?

@Gerald_G Год назад

Great points! Agreed.

I like the tips about procrastinating in regards to making videos. There’s a video I have on my list, but I haven’t started. I’ve actually started and finished other videos without working on that one. Your video is giving me the confidence to start it, work on it for five minutes, and step away. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be a finished product in a few weeks!

@DanFox 3 года назад

I bet if you just get started and then walk away,, you'll have it done in no time! Share it once you're finished!

@80DeuceAdventures 3 года назад

Great video. I love the change in angles and your personality makes it easy to watch and wanting more!!

@conqueringryan 3 года назад

That Zeigarnik effect tho! I like that tip about "procrastinating productively". How do you suppose that connects with suddenly being able to work when the deadline is looming?

@DanFox 3 года назад

Sounds like you're referring to the often misquoted and misunderstood "Parkinson's law" - which is not a law, but the idea that “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion" which was actually written as a humorous essay observing problems with British bureaucracy - there was less work but more people than ever to do the work. Tim Ferriss has no small share of responsibility for screwing up Parkinson's law for the masses lol Technically speaking, Parkinson's law is not true in the inverse, although deadlines do tend to focus the mind, but at the expense of other things. It is another type of stress response though, for sure. Still, better to not put oneself in that position to begin with 😉
