So there's this.

Like, there's a famous paper that has this, like, equation of procrastination, and it basically says, like, Yes, there's like there's, like, 44 elements of fascination.

But what about in general?

Because I come.

I heard that you graduated high school pretty early, right?

Yeah.

I skipped like a total of two.

Great.

Oh, my God.

Wait.

So when did you go to college again?

Uh, yes, I was.

So I went to college.

I was 16 my first year of college, But then I was 19.

Yeah, So then I took, I took I took extra semester graduate because I switched majors to see Oh, okay.

And then do you have any tips for college?

You know, for life studying sleeping?

Did you study a lot to get into college?

S e t.

I studied some press it is, But I wasn't very motivated.

I was ever motivated.

Like joining college years, I think, like, sophomore year and up.

But like, freshman year, I really fucked up like I got I got, like, everyone really low G p a will like like sub someone e I thought you were gonna say, like, 2.9.

That's that's why cumulative.

I think you told me.

But yes, I like that first year, First semester, I was certain school, like a better school on.

Then I did really badly because I did not a study and that transfer to that like, no, named of arts college.

Yeah.

Okay.

Wait.

Someone does that mean?

You felt like I got, like, like, absent stuff or ecstasy minds?

Like they say, I didn't go to class.

It wasn't that I, like, went to class studied, like did badly.

I just like I didn't frank depressors on that.

I just didn't You know why?

It's because you were too young.

Do you want t o say?

Yeah, probably.

I wasn't I wasn't ready work.

I think I met a girl that was also 16 years old.

When she started first year, I could tell that she was, like, a much like, emotionally immature.

And because of that, I think she made a lot of, like, dumb decisions, like, prematurely saying like, Oh, this is what I wanted.

Theo Cach blood.

And then when things don't work out, she freaks out.

Why?

Because during your whole high school, you were beast more.

You could do everything.

Yeah, I wasn't.

Now I wasn't ready.

Yeah, you know what's wrong?

Society.

Now they people forget to deal with being bored, forget to do the things don't know howto deal with being bored, you know?

And then because of that, they have these, like, advance Or like the skip greatness that doesn't that this in like, Well, I don't I don't see the connection between, Like, I was with you for part of that.

And you jumped to this like a P.

Like, Okay, fuck.

Not a people like just skipping grades.

Yeah, I mean, like, like, for example, you're saying I know what a great three and you're smart and everyone else.

Then then you go or whatever.

But back then we didn't We didn't have these, like ap shit, right?

People just, you know, just learn at the same pace is everyone.

But you could do something for boredom.

Class.

Do you think of shit, right?

Yeah, it's true.

I think I think I think that's you know, And it was, uh oh, yes.

Study study in general.

Yeah.

Yes, I didn't I didn't study at all Freshman year and generally, like, I never really became a good study or until like, like, maybe like, one year out of college and then like, and then, like, year after college, like so I wasn't a good student in college.

It's like my killer GP, even in my new school was, like, just under three.

Um, yeah, that's okay.

What What is that?

In terms of letter?

Great.

I like be like, yeah, yeah, on DSO like and I had got decent grades and I see his classes and my like falsely classes.

But basically, when I didn't care about a class, I just I didn't do shit for you, but I think that's kind of always been like my m o.

Like if I really care about something, I go like, 100% like, all in, but I don't.

Then I don't Kumbaya And then Yeah, I guess.

I guess the thing that I want to know more it's like, How do you prevent procrastination?

Do you study for, like, long periods?

Yeah.

And keep being motivated.

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, I'm not.

I still procrastinate, but I have, like, I went through this big like self improvement phase until you have, like, really read a lot about how to not progress in a.

So there's this, Like, there's a famous paper that has this, like, equation of procrastination, and it basically says, like, Yes, there's like, there's, like, 44 elements of fascination and basically, like, one element is expect.

Expect expectancy.

And basically, it means like it.

Expecting expectancy is low, like you don't think gonna happen.

Or like what?

You mean, like, basically, you might procrastinate something because you don't think you're going to do well.

Uh, so it's like, you don't know.

It doesn't even matter.

Yeah, I'm going to be cool.

I'm not gonna Expectancy means like, you know, You get confidence gonna go Well, person like that, I might miss him, but basically four elements and another woman is like the reward on Ben.

Know that elements like like attention And then the basic ideas like you want to like raised expectancy and, like, decrease attention like attention Dick Distraction Like increased the reward.

Eso there's just, like, famous, like flow chart of, like, ways you can, like, do that.

Just floor.

It was like this.

Like grafting.

Um, finally.

But basically, uh, yeah, there's a bunch of different techniques like I mentioned.

I don't break the chain on then.

No, the one is.

Um, it's gotta be explained that don't break the chance since it's gonna be different video.

So don't wreck.

The chain is basically like you try to do, uh, whatever you want to do for a little bit every day and then, as you do for that day, you just, like, make a mark of it on.

Then, like, imagine like a big calendar.

You basically want to build up a chain off like excess marks on.

Then, as the chain goes up, it becomes like more and more like there's, like, inertia or like momentum, like you don't want to break it as it gets longer.

You just want to keep it going, right?

Yes, yeah, I've been trying, and I got like, a streak Yeah, I've been trying to no fat for a while.

Why should I guess?

The chain is just like the idea of, like, a streak like snap snap streak, right?

It came about before off that.

Anyway, then another ideas, like palm adores where you basically just try toe, dude high five men.

I heard that word.

Yeah, like I don't know what it is, but I see people making videos of that where did just study and people watch that shit?

Yeah.

Just doing nothing.

Commodore Commodore, I guess, is the initial meetings, I guess, Like some kind of timer like tomato timer thing.

Yeah.

And so, basically, you just said it and you work for 25 minutes, and then you take a five minute break.

You repeat, there's literally all it is.

But the reason why it works is because often procrastination happens because, like, you can't get started.

You don't know where you started.

So like, or it's intimidating, right?

So it's a lot more intimidating to like, think about studying for four hours and minutes to think about just let's just 25 minutes, right?

God.

And so it's like it's Pacey just about breaking it down.

That makes sense.

Yeah, I think starting is the hardest.

Yeah, even for videos or anything.

Okay, so I've been unemployed for a while and that holy shit, I told myself I was like, Oh, I'm gonna make videos and do all that.

I didn't do anything, you know?

And I didn't do anything with my time either, because I could just so hard, like starting, right?

And I think that's the hardest part.

But then once you get started, it flows.

A lot of exactly Yeah, that's another thing, right?

Like flow.

That's a big I think if you get into a state of flow, eso flow is basically just like, um, like a totally immersed.

You don't notice time passing and like you begin to stay afloat is basically impossible to be, like distracted or two like procrastinate like, because you're just, like, totally in the moment.

Like like mindfulness like 100% attention.

So you can get to that state by, like, implication or by being intrinsically interested in like the journey.

Then that makes sense.

I was in the flow when I was drawing.

Actually, there's one thing that I want to talk about for procrastination.

I always procrastinate, but I procrastinate by doing other stuff that's productive.

Yeah, so actually, that's Ah, that's actually technique.

It's called structured procrastination.

Basically the Imagine a list of things you like have to do or want to dio Then you think about like so the thing of the top, it's like something you really need to do, but you don't want to do it, But there's something else right below it that's like also pretty important.

But you you don't want to do it like the amount to what you don't want to do isn't as high as the 1st 1 So you can procrastinate.

The 1st 1 we didn't 2nd 1 right on.

So eventually as long as the 1st 1 isn't, like super important, then still you're still doing something?

Yeah, yeah, it's like, yeah, that makes a lot.

Yes, yeah, that's pretty cool.

I remember what was my procrastination like?

It's probably like, Oh, back Danny was like, Oh, I don't want to work like Facebook.

Yeah, sure.

And then instead of video, I think that's why I also and then when I need to make videos because it becomes like a chore.

It's like not Yeah, And then I did laundry.

E Just for you.

Yeah.

Yeah, but the issue is that is, whenever there's, like, the top priority thing really important.

You have to do it.

But yeah, but then again, if it's really that important and there's a timeline Sorry.

There's, like a deadline, huh?

I usually do pretty well right before the deadline.

Yeah, I know.

Me too.

I think.

Um, yeah, that's another thing.

It's like, uh, force pedestrian.

Yeah, but it's like it's also a risky because the one thing I've noticed personally is that, like, as I vote up the history of doing stuff right before the deadline and as I've built up a history of successfully do barge in become smaller because my brain is like, there's no need of panic.

I've done this for five minutes.

That's 54 minutes this time, right?

Eventually, it's gonna crash eventually.

It's not gonna work anymore.

Yeah, You need to, like, trick of rain and saying like, don't be that confident.

This might be the time.

You're like, Yeah, just like l and the next time and then But the issue at work, I feel like I feel like I work.

A lot of deadlines are actually like soft deadlines.

Self imposed.

Yeah, Niven self imposed.

Even worse.

And that, like, imagine, a P M.

The manager tells you that they have a margin of error.
