Love this technique. You simply trick your brain into thinking the task is super easy and doable and by the time the 1 minute timer is up, there’s a high chance you’re going to want to keep going because you’ve already entered into the "flow state".
Always try to pick one or two small things that you can complete each day; they are small victories but they ARE victories and give you a sense of completion and accomplishment.
I’ve oft stopped after a few minutes. Just the other day it happened with/when folding clothes. My tasks take far too long, and it’s partly because of perfectionism, from which I am “deprogramming”. That’s the duality of Perfectionism...It becomes Procrastination. ♾☯️🧠⚖️💜☮️♾
Sum.K Lol. Your initial post said “blaffed”, before you edited. 😏 Errors/mistakes happen. Let’s all try to be a bit more understanding, forgiving, compassionate, patient. ♾☯️🧠⚖️💜☮️♾
Quick summary: Complete something on your to-do list RIGHT NOW so you take control of your productivity instead of wallowing in procrastination. Reality: Keep watching RU-vid 😂
@@DrJonTam actually your video described my procrastination perfectly and today is dedicated to the 1 minute rule. I really want to change and keep up with clutter and emails and junk mail. Doing it today, or as the video says "right now"!
"The hardest part of productivity is that transition from doing nothing to do doing something" so true. Once you get started its fairly easy to keep geting things done!
Time using stop watch on your phone: 1 minute choose a task. Visualise doing the task. 1 minute prepare task 1 minute execute task. 1 minute celebrate. 1 minute list next section of task. 1 minute execute new section of task. 1 minute celebrate. If 1 minute turns to 20 minutes celebrate 20 mins. Well done!
Actually checking email throughout the day is highly inefficient. Tim Ferris said so too. You need to chunk some of the activities together for efficiency.
Agree with that. When you are checking email, you can still apply this one minute rule. Most of the emails may just need a yes/no reply or some brief info we already have in mind. Respond to it as soon as you finish reading it, only those that need more thought-out response to be kept for later. This way you clear off the mailbox faster.
You might as well take it to the next step and do whatever you have to do immediately after you know you have to do it. Of course, if the chore is taxing it is good to take a break but doing everything immediately makes it so you never worry about it because it is already done. Either do it immediately or you will experience emotional pain in addition to having to do it.
I can’t do this because even though I’m only 10 and- hold on, I’ll stop you right here. I bet right now your thinking “oh she’s only 10? She hasn’t experienced the struggles of the real world! She’s over-reacting!” But right now I have 9 huge tasks on my to-do list. Those things include, finishing a video, making my classmates as Cuphead bosses, making human genderbent versions of Cuphead bosses (because I’m bad a drawing guys and most of the Cuphead bosses are guys), making 2 videos on RU-vid into Gacha Club style, and even making a FREAKING GAME! So yeah, I’m kinda stressed 🤣🤣🤣 and I’m still getting nothing done :/ Your also probably wondering how all these things piled up and why I can’t just remove them from my to do list, right? Well how they get piled up is my ability to see someone do something cool and go “OOoooOoOooO! I wAnNa TrY tHaT!” And then starting, running out of motivation and putting it off because my head hurts, my stomach hurts, I’m stressed, I’m tired, I’m sad, and ITS A FRIKIN WEEKDAY, then I put it on my to do list and then I can’t scrap it because it’s on a to do list now and I have to finish it XD. So please help me, I need help with being motivated lol. And sorry for this comment being so long 😅
What a great video 👍 one quote that I have burnt into my brain that I find really useful and true is: “don’t do it when you feel like doing it, do it- and then you’ll feel like doing it”- Zig Ziglar. How true that is, it takes forever to start a task, but when you do, you don’t wanna stop
@@katherinekaczowka5294 I'm sure that folks with large families can.benefit much more than I do by using a dishwasher. Although I have one it only gets ran through a cycle on average once a month. Then I only run it to keep it operational and to keep water in the p-trap of the drain. My ex worshipped it and crusty dishes etc. Filled the sink and sat on the counter. She left almost 2 years ago and the dishes she took with her were the problem. These dishes from garage sales stay clean because I make one hell of a mess cooking even though there is just one of me so to keep the kitchen halfway clean( enough to prepare and eat food) to suit myself I order my slave (myself) to clean up every time. I am not the best housekeeper by any stretch, but I try when.it comes to the kitchen and bathrooms. My dog don't complain, and I don't bite him.
Great video, thanks!... My version of the "1 Minute Rule" is the same but with an add-on. No matter what the chore is, I do it right away. But if it's a huge chore I only do it for 1 minute. LoL
Thank you! Very useful :) :) it is very well explained how this impact the default way you think about the things you do. How positive you are about it. Simple things and habits hold the most precious secrets indeed ;)
Loved the video I will apply to my life . I can't help but to make a joke ( how long does it take to learn the 1 minute rule 10:06 minuets . How long it took to make this video timeless, because you just can't put a price on educational content . Ok Now the video is priceless)
Thank you very much sir! A great help for me...i downloaded this video and see to it to give time to listen on this every time I feel to procrastinate...Staysafe. Thank you and more power!
This would drive me crazy feeling like I had to pay attention all day trying to micro manage myself. I’d rather do everything at once and not worry about it.
Thank you for making this video. I did something similar with TY notes I was late getting written & mailed. I decided to sit down to write every day until I caught up, even if I completed just one a day. The first day I was able to write 2 in the few mins I had before leaving for an appointment. I made sure to mail them that day, too, and it felt so good! This morning I had even less time but was still able to write 1 and drop it in the mail when I returned from an appointment. I haven’t watched your whole video, and you may touch on this later, but I think my brain is enjoying a dopamine surge every time I sit down to write, and another when I drop them in the mailbox! I’m proud of myself for thinking of this method on my own. Next I’ll try it on something that’s important but not time sensitive-piles of papers on my desk that need to be sorted, filed, and/or tossed. Wish me luck! 😅
I do something similar to this to motivate myself. For example, say I don't want to work out. I'll tell myself "okay, just do a half-workout then. That's better than nothing. Then when I complete the half workout I realize that I have the energy and motivation to complete the entire thing. :)
thus guy should take his OWN ADVISE and keep this video to 1 minute ONLY Instead of losing 10' minutes of your life here is what this guy is saying over and over again: don't put off small tasks coz over time they create a huge and stressful mess -done!
The idea is to immediately do any tasks that come up if they will take one minute or less to complete. For example, if you walk in the door after coming home from work, don't just kick off your shoes in the living room. Take the extra 20 seconds to place them back in your closet.
Fine. But why waste 10 minutes for the point that can be said in one minute? Endless repeating of just one major issue. P.S. I stopped watching at 3:35
And if it is difficult for you to stop procrastination you can try to start the simple thing, then little by little you ordering the rest, that will allow you to Continue all your Activities Without Leaving it for Later.
Big things are made from small things. Take care of small things and not only do you stay away from procrastination but you wind up completing big things. 👍 Good stuff ☝️☝️☝️You got a new subscriber ✅
