Your Brain When You Have A Deadline

hi

Good choice!

The way I see it there's three of me. First one is an asshole who is a bit of a task manager, but to a fault. Like not entirely socially there kind of focused. Usually he'll barge in with an idea that doesn't really gel with anyone but myself, but has the gumption to get things done after distracted me figures it's easier to harvest pumpkins in MC or it's time to buy another bit of hobby tech I'll do nothing with. Third me usually then has to rebuff both. Solo projects get annoying.

I'm not sure that would work for me because my imagination can take over. Once I had a story idea I thought about so intensely I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I had my laptop in front of me to study along with flashcards and I ended up lying on my bed for hours looking up at the sky and thinking of my story.

@@KoshVader Tell yourself that anything you daydream long enough to be a story you must write. That resulted in me no longer daydreaming because I was just to lazy to write and past daydreams rattling in the back of my mind for years demanding to be written.

I super love to sit or lie down and do nothing. Not sure that impetus to move would ever strike.

@@singingway They key is it can't be instinctual. You have to consciously force yourself to sit still and do nothing. Eventually you won't be able to stand it because it should feel like a chore.

something similar to this is called "urge surfing". instead of doing the thing your brain wants to do instead of the task, you sit and wait for the urge to go away, and the lack of dopamine will supposedly make your brain bored enough to give up and continue doing the task you were trying to work on before

You can get done more while procrastinating that you would otherwise.

Story of my life

It actually has a name--the "Dark Playground." When nothing is truly fun, because you know you're just pushing your struggle down the road, with compounding interest.

@@Zeuts85 you found that out by researching it with a deadline looming over your head didn’t you 😂

Or so stressed about the assignment

Same. I loathe dishes, but kept finding myself doing them _just to procrastinate doing my homework_ in college

@@1bootliz Same xD

Had to stop studying for a professional exam to polish my silver and reorganize my hall closet.

Oh, man. This made me laugh as hard as the video did.

Has anyone been on ScreenRant since Ryan set up his own channel?

I think it'd be hard for them to get all the way off his back, would you agree?

@@polreamonnjust to watch old vids

There’s no way you’re a bigger procrastinator than me, I come from a *long* line of procrastinators and I’m gonna continue that line, maybe later, I’ve actually been procrastinating on talking to my crush whom I would like to continue my line of procrastination with

One of my best friends said to me once she loves the way I take things on simply to avoid doing them! Hell yeah......

I wanted to reply to this comment but the

I procrastinated procrastination just to answer to your comment, but I'm procrastinating on the content of my reply, please read it at a later time.

I'm looking at someone who procrastinates so much, they're going to write their comment on how they procrastinate too much later.

exactly like figuring out for sure where the phrase going down the rabbit hole came from - it may very well hold the answers to our very existence!

@@TheFroneyZone Brain: Self-aware procrastination is still procrastination!

Don't you call me out like that!

Guilty 😔✋🏻

Also guilty

Tell me about it 🙃

Ryan in front of a green screen is there to raise your stress levels to critical.

I've gotten SO used to seeing him behind one that the real backgrounds seem fake

"adding stress levels!"

OH GOD HE TURNED REAL LIKE LAST ACTION HERO

oh THAT'S why this video felt weird! I couldn't put my finger on it but it wasn't *quite* right

FUCK OFF BRAIN

I'm now existing in a new paradigm. Thank you!

Really? Do you have a source you can send me I want to post about this.

insightful, fear of failure or other, the question then becomes - how do you prevent buildup of paralyzing levels of stress if prone to fearing negative outcomes / risk averse by nature?

Then what's the procrastination of eating? Cuz often I can't focus on anything and end up avoiding food. And I loooove food.

oof

This is me 100%, i dont get panic attacks, i just get like 70% done and then my brain goes "good 'nuff" and wont cooperate anymore

I realized this in high school. And somehow I ended up getting better grades. The more I tried, the lower the grade was. The less I gave a fuck, the more decent my grade was. I don’t know how it happened, but I never questioned it.

Nah, way better to procrastinate for weeks until finally starting about three hours before the deadline, write about 60% of the required word count, send the email to your professor a minute before the deadline, then go to bed only to find out a day later that you forgot to attach the actual essay to the email and then proceed to attach it and send it rather than spending a couple of hours finishing the damn thing, thereby getting a C instead of an A. Totally the way to go!

​@@korganrocks3995 that used to be my MO, but it hasn't scaled all that well out of school : /

It gave me second hand anxiety... I got over this way of procrastinating since a few years but I will never forget how this feeling felt... Just awful

@@bingobongo1615 teach us

NOOOOOOO I'm in one of those procrastination rabbit holes writing about procrastination rabbit holes only making me procrastinate mooooree !! How does one get out of these, better youtube that. This video is too relatable

You're supposed to be doing something productive now too, eh?

@@marquez2447 Pretend anxiety is a scary shadowy figure and the only way to defeat it is to run screaming toward it and punch it in the face before it can get any ideas.

How many rabbit holes are you on currently?

The worst part is that this could be your making a joke, but you literally have a deadline soon

Get out of this Ryan's hole, even it sounds TIGHT

The solution I've found is not to have deadlines for anything. I didn't say this was a _good_ solution, mind

Yes same

Yeah I felt that deadline physically

I'm nauseous.

Lol the only time I clean is if I'm avoiding doing something worse

I feel this to my bone cause this is what I am doing atm, this is the motivation I need, unexpectedly

Deadlines are tight!

For real. It *better* be making a reappearance.

I'm sure he'll have a character in a future skit listening to "Rabbit Hole" on the radio

It's already #1 hit song in my procrastinating head

I'm gonna need you to get allllll the way off my back about producing that single.

It could be called "The Bunny Hop" 😊

Been there, ironically I got better grades from writing a paper in an hour then spending days on it.

"Things not to do at a stoplight"

More interesting and more urgent!

I want to give him a carrot, and see where he takes that situation. And I don't mean a metaphorical carrot on a stick. I mean a literal carrot. Orange vegetables that everybody says improve your eyesight, but really that's just a myth started by the British as a way to trick the Nazi's from investigating what Radar is. No seriously, that's where that rumor got started. Carrots and propaganda helped kill Nazi's, and I think that's pretty cool. So now I want to give a carrot to Ryan George, and see where he takes it. Hopefully nowhere sexual. Ya know what? I hadn't even considered the sexuality of the Ryans in the Ryan universe. Are they bi-sexual? One of them got married to, and then divorced Julie Nolke. But the vast majority seem to not have girlfriends........and in some videos, we've seen their offspring look like a spawn of satan, which would be explained by relatives having offspring. Can't be more related to you, then sleeping with a clone of you. Yet the adult Ryans all look normal. Which means the horrible offspring qualities must get ironed out as the Ryans age. Although, maybe it explains why everybody is Ryan. What if Ryan is just in a room, imagining all this stuff, under the care of a mental hospital, and Julie is like his case manager? And the movie pitch guys are just all in his head after he sees a movie? I am putting TOO MUCH thought into this. I'm just giving him a carrot, and moving on with my life.

Were you on drugs when you wrote this? Cause reading that whole essay was an experience to say the least

@@izanneto Nope. I just over-analyze every little thing. My teachers thought I had A.D.D which would later be reclassified as A.D.H.D, but that's not what it is. With A.D.H.D you have 15 different thought processes all distracting you and all equally pulling you into different thoughts so that you never finish a thought process. I'm the opposite. I don't lose my attention. I go into detail so deep that even the crew from NCIS stopped telling them to "ENHANCE!!!". Then you just follow the hypothetical situations to their natural conclusion, which baffles everybody else because nobody thinks the logistics through of anything anymore. So somehow I get called rainman, which doesn't even make sense. Rainman had an eidetic memory, and would recall details about situations that nobody else could. I'm not recalling, I'm going into hypotheticals, and exploring the groundwork for which fictional events are laid. Often times coming to conclusions that nobody else would have reached. But, I do thank you for at least taking the time to complete the journey with me. I often times get reacted to in a way that the other person wasn't even going to read the message. It always reminds me of a Bo Burnham lyric. "It's youtube, it's what this country has been needing, an entire generation of kids who don't waste their time reading!"

You are NOT wrong... at all. I used to think this guy was a funny guy. Now I see him as a comic genius. That's many levels above just being a funny guy.

@@Lostmymind1 It's amazing how tiny a cluster of text is considered an essay by many modern online people nowadays. Are two-page leaflets considered books now?

Well, looking up random stuff about rabbit holes has to count has productive work when it's for a video, don't you think?

of course! that's why I'm here in the comments, and, having read a few and knowing I am late to work - I still had time to sit and write this incomplete sentence for no reason that is productive so I could see my typing and my name and get that small thrill that keeps me going

now I see that rim l.b. started his comment with of course and I feel like I should take the time to aha a sdlkjioeahadhapioenva; ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

okay that didn't make any sense so, despite I am late for work I am going to finish. (My brain voice sounds like ryan now - i decided)

okay, So I was going to say...... ah, crap! it's time to milk cows

Plus our hair. Wait. Let me rephrase that...

Whoa.

As I kid, I thought I would never be like that. Unlike the elders, I grew up with video games, so I'd always be somewhat good at them. Today at 40: Hold on! To play this casual switch game, I'd need to have a quick look at the controls?! Why oh why must games be so complicated these days?! There's like more than 4 buttons AND two analog sticks, and everything moves way too fast!

Yup, my search history is filled with random questions that pop into my head throughout the day

Yes but solitary confinement is much easier for us, so it's like crime is on the table.

@Hecking Bamboozled Same, and because I think of something else while researching the random thing, I have hundreds of open tabs filled will random queries across multiple browsers and devices. Isn't ADHD great? 😉

I also relate to this video so hard! And I have my first screening for ADHD in less than an hour :D

I don't think you need ADHD to relate to this

@@schrodingerskatze4308 true, everyone can relate to this, it's just that people with ADHD might relate to this "harder"(?).

Actually, as an ADHDer, I'm trying to allow myself to do more "productive procrastination". And I don't think you should feel guilty about that. Forcing myself to do a specific task often leads to doing nothing, so instead I allow myself to do stuff that I feel like doing right now, with a tasks list I check in whatever order. Eventually the more boring tasks will need actual deadlines (and some stress) to be done, but overall I'm more productive and less depressed this way!

Thats awesome! College really does suck though, most jobs are, you show up, and go home. College does little to really prepare you for a work life, aside from something like law school, or med school. But for some reason you cant jump straight into med school/Law school. A lot of jobs dont even need a college degree.

@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist college at least puts you into different social standards than your home might or your high school. So I'll give it that. And I was able to get a part time job as well, save up some cash (that was a bad idea in hindsight cause it was just MORE stress on TOP of my stress) and then because of my depression that at the time I didn't even KNOW was depression, I became THAT person in group projects. You know, the one that doesn't do that work but passes. I felt bad, but couldn't bring myself to care at the time. College was not an overall good time for me, if I could do it again, there's a lot I'd change. Mostly, getting help for myself mentally. I did make a lot of new friends via pokemon though and that I wouldn't change at all.

Sounds like EXACTLY my college experience.

As someone who also dealt with severe depression and struggled in college exactly like you described, might I suggest looking into an ADHD eval? My diagnosis was too late to save college performance, but it's done wonders for life afterwards (including depression)

Pffft, that's nothing I once wrote a 5 page college essay about the parallels between Chinese and Korean martial arts archetypes without doing more than 20 minutes of research and maybe an hour of actual writing and I wasn't even in the class, dude promised me $80 if I could land a C or better. Secured a B-, homeboy passed his Korean Cinema class, and I paid my rent on time. Then I did a back flip and snapped the bad guys neck. The last part isn't true but the rest is.

I should be doing math homework right now. But...I can't. Thanks ADHD!

How about watching a 30 minutes motivational video on how to stop procrastinating when you clearly don't have 30 minutes or better read the comments for 30 minutes.

@@questionablehistorian9335 Gotta miss the days that the only thing at risk is homework. Nowadays it's an ever growing backlog of games.

Same, I have a 5 page paper on crisis intervention due tomorrow and I have 2 paragraphs written. The stress from procrastination is sending me into a crisis. Maybe I should call one of those crisis hotlines and see how they intervene and take notes. But, of course, I can’t my phone calls until my house is clean. You know what they say, messy bed messy head. I wonder where that phrase came from…..

@@hayleyhowarth8330 Mine was 5 pages on the Indian Caste system. It's something I'm really interested in, but it was still a nightmare. When I get that way I remember what my grandma said "If it's not going to matter a year from now, don't let it stress you". Your mental health is more important than anything else.

Feels like a tranquilizer tbh
