[Kelmister]

thank you so much!

[EmceeMind]

There is also a ted talk about the battle between the present self and future self. I think it applies here.

[marieforleo]

@EmceeMind sounds very cool - I'll check it out!

[EmceeMind]

Just five minutes helps. Say to yourself you're only going to work on a something for just five minutes then you end up working an hour. Once you get the rolling, its easier to roll on.

[marieforleo]

@EmceeMind I like it!

[fear307]

The Calendar thing works :)

[marieforleo]

@fear307 Awesome!

[Skux32]

Great... I'm going to do this, tomorrow lol.

[marieforleo]

@Skux32 HA HA!

[Quibbleify]

@benaliva1 Thats pretty much the only reason people would watch a video like this though...

[Rettequetette]

The "accountability"-strategy is kind of negative... you basically tell yourself "if you don't do this now, so-and-so will happen". Kind of like a threat, which triggers your subconscious mind to wanting to do it even less.

Thanks for the book reccommendation, though. I'll check it out.

For the hard core procrastinators among us, I would definitely recommend The Now Habit, by Neil Fiore. 

[marieforleo]

@Rettequetette That's an interesting and different perspective! For some of us it's a motivating and positive and works. Of course, different strokes for different folks!

[ArkBlitz]

Added to "Watch later".

@ArkBlitz LOL.

[ArkBlitz]

@marieforleo Fact: This video has been on my "Watch Later" list for the last two months.

@princeword best line. didn't know if she'd keep that in.

[princeword]

Procrastination really feels like a post-millenium decease. Never felt it before 99, and I wonder how much the Internet can be blamed.

[princeword]

@princeword okay, not the girl below, but at the bottom...

[PeaceUdo]

"If you don't want to schedule it, you probably don't want to do it" Nice...!!
