How to Stop Procrastinating 

Okay, now stop reading the comments and DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Here's a tip: If you do it now, you won't have to do it later

How many people are procrastinating by watching this vid?

Treat the "lazy voice" in you're head as if they're an annoying person sitting there. "Hey you should check youtube before you start your project." "No shut up timothy"

think of procrastinating as having momentum, but in the wrong direction. now one "law" of psychology is, that once you have momentum, you can't directly change direction because momentum is pointing in another direction. so what you have to do is to stop everything for a moment! take a deep breath and build distance from anything and everything. feel where you are and what possibilities for action are open to you in that situation. it will then be easier to pick the thing you actually need to do! once you focus on it, you will notice your brain making plans on how to set it in action. reside with those thoughts for a bit until it becomes crystal clear what you have to do. now you have built momentum in the right direction and you will have a productive day :)

I've had this in my watch later list for 5 months..

I'm procrastinating by watching videos about how to stop procrastinating to distract myself from procrastinating by anxiously waiting for the Witcher 3 to install :/ I should really start studying German...

Guys and Girls LOL i am overwhelmed by how many people are like "watching this and procrastinating", but hey, I feel like since we be trying to learn how to get better, we are technically being active in building a better us. We ain't procrastinating we be activating our capacity to stop, One day.

Every time I watch your videos I do something productive while listening. You inspire me so much and I would feel way too guilty being irresponsible while also watching someone like you! Today I cleaned my entire room AND exercised while watching your videos. The only reason I did these things is because YOU inspired me and drove me to do it. Thank you Mimi keep doing what you do :)

procrastinating by watching this

Another tip that helps me alot is not to look at the time because when u look at the time u'll say ill start in an hour or 15 mins and u keep procrastinating! So dont look at the time u just have to realize it finish it first and then look at the time

This made me get up and clean my room at 2am

this video motivated me to go downstairs and get an apple

I'm impressed. The last few yrs I have been completely down. I didn't think I could get up again. I'm worn out from everything I have been through. But everyday I can feel myself coming back. I am strong even when I don't want to be. Being the way I am I have made it through the worst of the worst. I have just learned how much I'm procrastinating in life. I did not know how to handle it because I never really noticed before this because I did what I had to no matter what and was focused. I'm a survivor. Thank you.

I barely ever subscribe like once every 2 years or if someone asks me in person! But you just earned it! I love your attitude to life! So inspiring Mimi! Lots of love! God bless your soul!

procrastinating right now...

I think procrastination is a lot like eating unhealthy. It's hard to start eating healthy when you haven't been for God knows how long, but after you do it for a few days, you start realising how good you're starting to feel.. and same goes with procrastination. Kicking yourself in the butt at first is gonna feel like climbing a mountain each time, but like Mimi said after a few times you realise how good and accomplished accomplishing things makes you feel, and it quickly becomes a habit. I am getting better at kicking myself in the butt, but there's still room for improvement.. ;P Thanks for this one, Mimi! :)

I know these videos are old! But thank you for making this video! As a new mom, I have been suffering with procrastination, depression, and anxiety. You are an inspiration.

Thx mimi , Thx for inspiring us all the time. Watching your videos has become my daily routine and I benefited quite a lot from the positive energy you bring and the healthy lifestyle you share . Love you!

Thank you for giving real and honest advice instead of tips and tricks that only work in the short run. Super useful!

The irony is I should be working as I watch this

I am the same way after I do my makeup and I always say I will clean it later...I never do. Your right though, if you just take two minutes you can do it right away and I always feel so much better when my makeup area is clean anyways !

Awesome message! "The less you listen to it, the quieter the voice gets." In 2015 I almost never walked (for exercise). In 2016 I made a goal to walk several days a week. As I got more comfortable with doing it, it became familiar, and now it's a part of my everyday life. The voice saying I don't want to go for a walk today is almost not there at all anymore. Instead, a new voice that says, "I'm going to be good to myself today and walk" has appeared, and without fail, I always feel better about myself for having chosen to walk, rather than not. Thanks for the great video!

This is the video I've watched the most by far.. on your channel and on all of RU-vid! It is just so true and so helpful.. Everytime I forget these things and I am starting to fall into old habits, I watch it and wash my brain again (to not procrastinate)!

Thank you so much ! I was procrastinating by watching this video but now I think I'm going to study for my exam. Thanks I needed this!

Fantastic video! One thing that is really helping me to conquer procrastination is to always keep my vision and goals before me so that I'm not merely seeing habits as routine but as the way for me to achieve my goals. It makes staying engaged to the process much easier. So when the temptations to procrastinate come, I remember my goals and vision, and even if I am already in procrastination mode lol, I get up and get down to business. Such a fan of you and Alex! Thanks for sharing!!!

It's been 12 years now since I've been fighting procrastination, so far my method helped me a lot, I have achieved several things, but sometimes it still goes into my head. I was using 2 key steps. 1 "Self Forgiveness", 2 "Just Do it" .But after watching this video, I revised my keys to success: 1 "Self Forgiveness", 2 "Ignore Little Voices", 3 "Do it NOW" - Thanks Luxy...

I just wanted to say how inspiring this video is. I thank you for giving me the drive to work harder for my self goals. You go girl!

Hi Mimi, I loved this video. To be honest I've been procrastinating about a lot of things for the past few months as I suffered from severe morning sickness. Since I was sick all day and night,my motivation levels were always on empty. I'm feeling much better and I knew if I wanted to get started on my small business ventures I had started prior to becoming sick I needed to get a move along . I've always been Miss Positive but felt I was in a deep rut but I've been slowly coming out of in the past week. When I seen this video on my feed I knew I needed to watch it but I didn't. It took a while.I watched your how to be successful vid and the light in my head switched. Today I watched you/listened while I sat organising piles of paperwork that I've ignored-so thank you for inspiring and always motivating me. Your like the rocket I need to be pro active. Your friend Rach x

I think this is the best video I've seen so far on procrastination. Thank you for the tips! My go-to is just power through, no stopping.. just go!

Thank you so much for creating this it helps! I can so relate! I think when you do push past the resistance you realize you had the strength to overcome all along ! Amazing video!!

I love these videos of yours!!!!!! it's so helpful omg thank you for all this amazing informations ❤❤

Loved the video! Such great advice and such an important topic and issue to conquer! You're right, we all face it on a daily basis.. Like you said, it's all about hearing those lazy voices, and pushing through them to be productive regardless! :) xo

Its probably bad that I'm watching this while procrastinating...

heyy, my dad was following your channel to improve his english, your accent is so understandable by nonnative speaker and some of your subjects fits for everyone like this subject, this video gaves me so much ! thnx

You make me want to be a better person. I love you so much, Mimi!

Grate video Mimi ! :) This is what my guru said about this - "Laziness is when you delay something even for 1 second instead of doing it now".

This video gave me the motivation I needed to get up, stop feeling sorry for myself and work at my business! I love your videos and I always keep up to date with them. Thank you xx

Thankyou so much for these videos! I seriously love your advice videos

Thank u for this topic! Procrastinating is what I face every single day!! Yes, we all have these voices in a head, but not all of us have a willpower strong enough to fight with it. I personally let myself be week. Thank you Mimi for the sun inside you, you are such an inspiration

Mimi you are such a motivator and a very good inspirer, thank you a lot xx

It also helps to reward yourself with something once you finish whatever your procrastinating.

OMG this was so accurate! I feel like you was just talking about me looool! Laziness is the reason I've missed out on sooooo many opportunities! Definitely going to start working on myself and not let procrastination beat me :( Thank you so much for these tips ad advice :)

I'm procrastinating by watching this… but it helped me a lot! Will get back to work now! Love you Mimi :)

Mimi your such an amazing, and inspirational person! You give great advice. I really enjoy your videos.

I love your videos so much :) They are so inspiring. Keep filming!

You can't imagine how much this has helped me, I really really thank you.THANK YOU.

thanks, Mimi! Dissertation procrastination is the hardest to overcome...thanks for the pep talk. I'm going to re-listen to your video every day that I struggle. You're a gem! :)

"the less to listen to it the quieter it becomes". thank you Mimi!

I needed this video, I know it's old, but it's helped me so much! I have been unhealthy and can't excercise much to to arthritis problems but I do nearly all the bad things you mentioned! Could you perhaps make a video on you planner with more procrastination tips? It would be really useful - especially with the Christmas season looming on the horizon: it's already starting to freak me out! Xxxx

Thanks for making this video! I go through this almost Everyday! I like the idea of I'm the boss against the negative voices, that helps a lot! :)

how ironic- im procrastinating by watching this video

this video is awesome! and today i was so close to say "i'm going to workout tommorow not today" but i didn't. i'm proud of that. it's really hard to avoid those little voices that make you procrastinate.. but when you start doing it, you just get use to it and you feel so much better after you do the work you were procrastinating for so long!

Mimi the way you talked about this topic of procrastination is exactly what I've always dealt with. At the beginning of this year I started working out regularly for real, being more active in my life. At least 3x a week but recently I started working full time and kinda stopped for a week or two...but as soon as I noticed this I told myself nono I set out to reach this goal and it's hard but I have to keep moving! And now I'm back on track. Thanks so much for this it really helps!!

I need to watch this EVERYDAY!

I was procrastinating by watching this video...but it truly inspired me to forget the past and dive in to a successful future! Thank you, Mimi :)

I seriously feel like you are talking straight to me!!! I struggle with this EVERY SINGLE DAY! and you mentioned everything I struggle with! I have my own business, so I work from home, and it is SO HARD! I seriously always have intentions to get so much done, but then it gets to be afternoon, and I realize I spend half my day on pinterest, or Facebook. I always feel alone, like there is something wrong with me because I cant ever get anything done, but your video has helped me so much! THANKS!

This was my "message from the universe".....just what I needed. Thank you Mimi! You just never know the impact your words can have in another persons life, so I'm really grateful.

Great & motivational video from U Mimi!! 💙👍🏼 This last days I ´m trying to avoid procrastinating a lot and maybe I found HOW anybody can avoid it. After school or work I plan usually one hour to "relax" and social media... And then start really working, studying... It helps me a lot. Because I know that if I want to get sth done I need to do it (now). Planning days is really great and helpful! 😉👌🏼⏰⏰

Im definitely a procrastinator and for the last few weeks ive been working on it, and it changed so much, I feel better I do things straight away rather than wait, and my grades at school have gone up. I realised that doing it straight away is soo much easier because u dont have to worry about it later on.. great video Mimi! :)

I needed this !! Thank you I was procrastinating by watching this !!

you have such a positive energy. thanks for these videos!!!

Thank you!! I've been so horrible lately, procrastinating constantly! You're so right :)

Not only did this help me, but it was interesting. You earned a subscription!

I was feeling lazy and, when I watched this, I laughed at myself. At the end of the video, I started doing some sit-ups. Thanks for the advice Mimi. This is very inspirational.

hahaha while i was watching the video, which is amazing by the way I realized that I was actually procrastinating by watching this video about procrastination instead of going an doing the work I've gotta do. haha. This is so inspirational though. You're perfect, you deserve billions of followers.

Mimi, you are amazing!!! Thanks for inspiring me and for bringing me back the hope and motivation every time! Your videos are wonderful and so are you!!! Kisses from Bulgaria :*

It's hard to shut the little procrastination voice in your head, but one thing that helps me is thinking about what 'future me' would have to say. 'Future me' is the me in the future that has to deal with all the things that I procrastinate about. When I don't procrastinate 'future me' is happy and always takes a moment to thank 'past me' (nothing fancy, just 1 thought on how grateful you are to your 'past self' for doing the job and not procrastinating).

Such an inspiring video Mimi. Oh god i just realized that i had been doing this all the time, you are so right! You know what whenever i feel procrastinating something i'm gonna remember you and if i ever feel lazy i will come back to this video!

this is so true! Everytime I have to do some work I procrastinate one day, and the next day I always feel bad and I do all the work. Love you Mimi!

OMG I just watched Alex's video about confrontation and was about to ask him about the exact same topic "Procrastination"!!!! And here you are!!! answering all questions I had in my mind. I was smiling and laughing throughout watching the video...you speak my mind Mimi. Thanks a bunch. Love you :)

I can't believe how lovely u can be!!I've leared a lot from u so far!Thank u sooooooooooooooooooo much dear Mimi.....!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen such a beautiful and in the other hand intelligent and positiv person. Your tips are so helpful thank u for beeing you

i just love you..you are such an inspiration

These videos you make always help me improve! 💞

I am getting up right now, and I am going to do what I've gotta do, thank you :D

Gonna be coming back to this video often to get inspired and motivated and stop procrastinating. I've been procrastinating on my summer assignment for school and it's due soon, too bad I'm watching this before bed or I'd get started on it. But I did highlight the books I wanted to do the report on after watching the video. Thanks Mimi :D

woah.. it helped me sooo much!!!thankz alot Mimi , you are the best!!

Thank you so much. very helpful! I am dealing with this issue at the moment. The more you resist the devil voice, the quieter it becomes. ...The same voice that suggest u to resist doing the right thing is the same voice that will come back to tell you that you don't worth anything after having missed all your opportunities because of procrastination!

Thank you, Mimi! I really needed this wake up call. I literally have been so lazy this summer and this helped me get motivated again for when school starts and just in general. Thank you so much! I really have been thinking of what could get me going again and you video helped. :) x

Youre the best mimi Omg I love you . Youre motivating me

your tips are so helpfull! love you so much mimi ♥

You inspire me and i really love your videos :) ♥

Oh I love this video! This is the only video about procrastination that is actually really helpful! Thanks Mimi :))

I'm sooo bad for procrastinating!! Thank you Mimi, I need to watch this every morning! Xxx

I LOVEE YOU! Every time I don't feel well, I'm sad or something like that I watch one of your videos. It doesn't mather if it is a beauty or inspirational video. And everytime I feel so much better!!!

I LOVE this! I really needed it.

Or you've just been binge watching Mimi's videos. You are so awesome!

just love that video :) thank you for not procrastinating, but making that video :) this is what helps me to do things, which I dont wanna do: 1. I picture how good I will feel, once I did accomplish for e.g. cleaning the house 2. then I smile (even if I do not feel much like it) and think of something positive 3. I use "want" instead of "have" Like: I want to go the gym. Instead of: I have to go to the gym And if I still dont feel like it, well then I allow it to myself and relax :)

Thanks Mimi. I have watched both your video and Alex's video on procrastination. The pomadoro technique definitely worked, but then I faced the problem of actually starting the pomadoro! Now with your video, I have realized that these voices are really preventing me from even starting to try and stop procrastinating, if that makes sense. Thanks to both of you. You're completely right... we know that we will feel great after we do it but there is much resistance to overcome at times.

Thank you Mimi, I needed this.

omg the video is so relatable...i cn completely relate to it...thnku so much mimi

Plus you talk about it from your own experience too so makes it more real of a subject that everyone can relate to. And will work hard to fix and be aware of these negative voices in our heads that keep us from doing so much more than we are capable of

You are my motivation!:) thank you!

you're amazing. Masha'Allah i feel so inspired whenever I see your videos ♥

Mimi, I think that this is the best video you´ve ever made :) Procrastination is the biggest problem of everyone´s life ... I´ve got the same problem as you with exercising . I exercise 3 times a week and sometimes I think that I´m lazy... I will do it another day... But it´s all about me and my decisions :) Thanks for this great and amazing video... I love you so much xoxo

This video came just in time! Thanks Mimi!

Thank you for this amazing video! This is exactly for me, because a procrastinate important (and not pleasant) things every time. Now, I know how to stop it )) Thanks!

you inspire me to do my best every day

Thanks Mimi! I really need to work on this...I fight procrastinating by listening to music! It kinda drowns out those negative voices and puts me in a good mood. My favorite songs can make writing a long paper or doing difficult math problems more enjoyable.
