Krissie Speaks about Procrastination

[MyPinkRainbow]

me too i got to figure something out to stop me from doing it , it is like a up and down roller coaster , and it changes dailey some times i am on top of shit and i have tried the routine thing and my life is so chaotic , i crave structer though ,

[contemporarydancer97]

Thank you so much for this. I'm not a big procrastinator, but things have been getting extremely stressful lately and I've been putting off more and more every day. I think you've saved me from going any farther, which may or may not have been the breaking point. Once again, thank you. :)

[girly359]

Here's more songs: breathe you take- george strait

I hope you dance- Lee Ann Womack

Don't forget to remember me- Carrie underwood

I'll be- Reba

Don't stop believing- journey

Life is a highway- rascull flats

[Christopher711]

[hellobekahhh]

ive learned a great lesson from you ^ ^

[TheDeviousWitch]

OH and Stop and stare by One Republic. Anyway, I just realized that this was posted a year ago! How are things going? I hope you still get on here! lol

[TheDeviousWitch]

Another great motivational song is A Certain Shade of Green by Incubus. :)

[ayamesgrl]

Totally got me to start thinking about things like this

Tomorrows goals to do:

Call my counselor and set up an appointment

Clean my room

Get up and go to the gym for at LEAST an hour

[SNL0907]

I've learned a great lesson today.

My new motto : Procrastinate NOW !!!

[musicmaker838]

I should be studying right now.. I guess I better get back to work? =S

[jsweet83]

caffine can make anxity  worse

[rainewater85]

Thank you, Krissie.

[bluebell091]

thanks krissie your tips are very helpful,my goals for tomorrow are going to be looking for flats to rent (because i'm back at my mums thats a long story),going for a run,and practising my guitar and singing,thank you again your videos are always so inspirational and informative

[punkrockgoth1988]

You have inspired me to try and do the same. I have a problem with procrastination. Thank You for posting!

[punkrockgoth1988]

There's another song I think would fit the bill for inspiration. It's "Today was your last day" by Nickleback.

[drmerkwuerdig]

great krissie.

you're absolutely right.

hope you're going on at your plans.

+hugs+

[ssips720]

good on u girl

[love4bergy]

this made me feel very guilty haha. i guess i should get started on my 6 page report....ugh

[Merenwynn]

Unwritten is also an inspirational song as well... If you don't like your life.. change it.. I feel ya!!

[shuhanmiah]

Thanks Krissie, this video is very informative and helpful. :)

[spiritofwicca]

Got the education, degree etc., had the V.I.P. career. Then, I became disabled. Had to retire very young. What saves me is my dogs. Regardless of how lousy I feel and how much I'd like to crawl back into bed and stay there, they are my first priority. They need to be fed, walked, groomed, played with, etc. My girls have been lifesavers.

[bluebell091]

wow that is so inspirational

[vanvort]

Every one who this applies to has two things, Human Lemon Syndrome and a Palatible Mind. We all have the ability to survive but the way we know rarely gives us any oppertunity to use them, so the HLS in all of us makes us fuck shit up all the time so we can put what we know to use for once. The songs will work because our minds obsorb things more then they should which is why we find it easyer to stare at a wall then to do something active.

[lushwitch]

Thanks for posting this video, Krissie. The advice was exactly what I needed to hear right now - I'm getting so lazy and needed something to snap me out of it. Tomorrow will be my fresh start! :)

[94Antares94]

hey krissie that was a great video. i hope everything works out for u :)

[Konform2zoidberg]

temp job might help, or community college after the GED

[tindotado]

Krissie - I loved your vids on procrastination, rap music and the Obama interview. I have challenged myself to wake up early and get dressed. I work from home and staying in my pajamas has made me more lazy. My song list: Lose Yourself Eminem Keep Your Head Up Tupac Lord Give Me A Sign DMX The Worlds Greatest R-Kelly I Dare You to Move Switchft Bring Me to Life Evanesce Stronger Kanye West Move Along All American Rejects Unwritten Natasha Bedingfld Jesus Take the Wheel Carrie Underwd

[MrDinBK]

Krissie- Did you get your GED and driver's license? Hope all is going well for you!

I have said the same thing to myself that "I am doing nothing with my life and I don't like it"...sounded too familiar.

[JoeMulk]

This video was actually an inspiration to a fellow procrastanator. (=

[JoeMulk]

I was watching this as I procrastinated :P

[wonderwhaz797]

There is a wanting to change, but is that very want a judgement of who you are? The desire to change is not a catalyst, only loving yourself for who you are right here and now (the so called good and bad) will bring the change, but once you seek the change, you are already caught in the judgement again. Change is like a thief in the night. It comes when you're not putting friction into it. Once you're unhappy with yourself, you cease to be aware, attentive, affectionate to yourself. U luv U 1st.

[what1f2d3d]

Wow.. just wow.. this is completely what i needed.

i'm such a procrastonator it's rediculas, and i've come to my realization just today. just so happens, i go back to school tomorrow finish up the samester and i was simply hopeful i would be able to pick things up. This movie, along with realizing Wicca is for me, has turned so much for me. thankyou for the steps to work on, damn i bet those 10 minuts have changed a lot of people's worlds.

[bigchinasean]

Proust spent a lot of his life in his pajamas and in bed. Busy is good, and then you can retire.

[summersleeps]

none of these procrastination vids really seem to talk about where i am...only the before and after places...good vid though.

[forestskog]

Where are you now? Just curious what you mean by that.

[unpeacefulone]

I watch this video and all I can think is one word: fear.

[yclutter]

Wow.. you are really trashy.. I thought you were more classy.. I'm really impressed.. Yeah go out there and get a degree in something.. dont waste more time..do something with your life.. damn it.. shame on you girl

[ShyvanX]

This is identical to my situation. Beneath the surface there is a source of disdain for where I have put myself. I am aware of my lazy lifestyle yet I've grown so comfortable within it that I don't want to change. I am 23 years old and have only recently discovered that I am in a rut. All around me my family and friends are moving forward, but I remain static. And I feel this is the root of my depression. It isn't externally evident but I feel it nagging at me. Great video Krissie.

-Steven

[wl118]

pretty good

[xFullOfGRACE]

I've watched almost all your videos, and after THIS one, I can honestly say you've inspired me. I'm a junior in hugh school and procrastination is KILLING me. I'm definitely going to take your advice. Thank you SO much for this.

<3 Hayley

[newfiecarolyn9]

[leiapeison]

[xChairx]

You have inspired me to structure my life starting right now

[NozMcGoo]

ok..that... opened my eyes.

Im gonna take this up. Again, must be a sign, i have a free day tomorrow to do whatever i want.

Im going to do 3 things to make myself feel good

Im a procrastinator, bad. ive been through a pretty rough breakup, and its still rough, to a point where theres arguements and bad negative feelings. It leads to me being unhappy and leaving off the things i enjoy doing most. Im a (new) cosplayer, so i make costumes, but havent, i love drawing, but havent.

Needs to change

[CookieMac87]

Ok, I posted a comment before about decorating my son's bedroom. I didn't get it done by the deadline I had set myself but I've worked hard on it every day until it was done and it is now done, he loves and I love it, it's perfect so I'm glad I didn't rush it!

[rebelknight81081]

your hot and shinedown is the best band in the world right now and ever will be

[Lswifey0528]

4 social studies n science, basically u read a paragraph or so, n answer questions bout what u just read. it is unbelievably ez, n u shouldnt have a prob, trust me!

[Lswifey0528]

hey, i just wanna let u know, i took my ged test back in dec, n it was really ez. idk where u live, but im in pa, n here they dont go by what u should know, they go by what the average high schooler knows. they compare ur knowledge 2 that o a 12th grader, n score u based on the comparison. also, in math, they give u a lot o xamples, so u dont need 2 worry 2 much. but there r 2 tests that u could get, n 1 o the tests has more geometry than algebra, so u mayb wanna check that out also.

[docstest123456]

Dear Krissie!

If my previous comment made some sense to you, you might want to check out what Eckhart Tolle has to say about "your life's purpose" (google for oprah+webcast+eckhart tolle+a new earth+download)

Keep going & take care!

[CharlieChuno]

When Krissie speaks, I listen. :)

[docstest123456]

You do a lot of high-level thinking. Is your thinking controlling your life or is your real "life-power" in command? Nothing against using your intellect, but it needs to be integrated into life's reality, "body intelligence". Maybe thinking blocked your vitality into lethargy. Now you're planning your actions in great detail, which can be good. Who does the planning? Your thoughts again, right? Again they might become too tyrannic, unless your thinking is balanced with life's power. - So long!

[Lavignerocksmyworld]

quick question though...what is "Procrastination"?? can't find my dictionary and on "google" it's translated into ""Procrastination"^^ could any one help me out here please??

thx :)

[fruitikay]

Gotta love those fortune cookies. I, actually, am in the same exact boat as you are (were). And you know what? About a few days ago before I watched this video I told myself I was ready for a new beginning; a metamorphisis...and this video is a sign that I need to get started. Lol. I'm a writer...and I feel like a loser laying around all day and I never get any chapters written at all...anyway~ thanks for the boost. :) :) That's good that you are taking the practice tests. You go girl! :)

[semexboi]

im a procrastinator ill take your advice...i set my goals high...maybe i shouldnt :)

[MonkeyOctober]

Mine are high too,which is why I ive up soe easily.

[Mothman2000]

procrastination is fun, m'kay?

[ninadesilvia]

Don't worry about the driver's license thing. You'll do fine, just keep on practicing. Look if my mother can get her license...ANYONE can! LOL She doesn't even know how to use the remote control and she passed her road test (in an automatic car though).

But good luck and keep focused. Take it day to day.

[RoamingD]

Omg I have to get like 7 essays done this month for my AP classes next semester. Gah...

[krissiespeaks]

If you get all 7 done, I'll post the one you like best in one of my videos.

[RoamingD]

Alright I'll send it to you :)

[Homie0static]

Krissie, you have a site now so that is something. I've recently been coping with grief over the loss of someone for whom I felt real emotions. This person wasn't a family member or a loved one. She was "a friend at a distance". She lived one town over. I had affection for her and never told her. I felt very much like you did before your posting. I checked into a hospital and saw someone because I didn't want to dishonor her. I will continue to do so. Don't procrastinate on love. Thanks again.

[wolflovescandy]

u doo something krissie...u change lifes with your wisdom...ok let me tell u a story...i found out that my ex cheated on me with a good friend and she slept with him.you know whats the ironic part..when i found out i couldent stop laughing and not because i didnt lvoe her..because you showed people how life is simple.u basicly saved my life:))

[thehollowing]

Krissie I know you mentioned before you are a person who lives in the now, I just wanted to let you know that I think you are really talented. Have you ever thought of auditioning for American Idol? I know it sounds cliche, but I have a feeling you can make it. You have everything and I can see your solo project really taking off from it.

[wizardhype]

I know exactly what you are talking about. I was in a rut where I would be around the house just hanging out when I started to feel the way you did a few days ago. I started on working on getting in better shape which led to me feeling good about myself and now I am very close on getting a job. Your very right about little steps. I wish you luck on the math section which I remember sucked and other than check book stuff I really don't use much math and as for algebra never. Great video.

[HOURGLASSCORSETLASS]

Good video! I'm a seamstress & work from home-I set up a routine so I don't allow myself to get in a rut. My husband travels, so it's just my daughter, my dogs and me most of the time! It would be easy to say, "I'll do it later", but when later gets there, you find another excuse to put it off. I make sure try to meet the goals I set for myself so I don't get in a rut. Good for you for taking the steps to make a routine, get your GED & license! Good luck with everything!!

[chrishayden82]

I didn't get my license till late either but part of reason was I got in a car accident on my road test lol =/

I don't feel I need to stay busy all the time but you need to find a balance which is with everything really

[ZanyTomato]

Very enlightening...seems very helpful for someone in that situation. I know I've been there. Haven't we all? Great video, but one comment I couldn't keep to myself: How the hell are you supposed to avoid the television, when it's right there by your bed? I can imagine that it's some exercise to resist temptation, perhaps? Haha. I dunno. Looking forward to more awesome videos, Kris! :)

[krissiespeaks]

Oh yes, BELIEVE ME, it's difficult! But I have been finding other things that keep me better occupied and active :)

[hiddenstrength]

The most important thing is to believe you can do it - envision it in your head. Pay no mind to doubts or negative thoughts. I really believe in the power of thought, and by having a positive mentality each and everyday -- you are putting that out there in the universe.

Also fear is another thing. Don't be afraid of success or stepping out of your comfort zone. We come into this planet, and we can either choose to be afraid or choose to be educated which will help us evolve.

<3

[thatkidyouheardabout]

thanks:]

i love you.

[gypsyrose713]

Hey, I am 25 and I JUST got my license, don't be so hard on yourself. I just want you to know from a fellow procrastinator that there is hope. Think about how good you will feel once you reach your goals. And about that GED girl, you are so fucking smart!! You owe it to yourself.

[Twightwee]

what you said hit home hard. I, too, have a fear of driving and am yet to get my GED. There are so many things I want to get done but I put them off. What you said woke me up a bit. thanks for this video, kid.

[gdbass]

I'm going to set some great, reasonable goals...but, I'm kind of tired...think I'll do it tomorrow ;)

nice vid.

[SmileLarcLovesYou]

This video was really inspiring. There's a lot of things I want to do with my life, but I'm not paving the way for any of it to happen. I'm gonna try this out! Even though I'm only fourteen I still need to start chasing after the things I want out of life when I'm older. Thanks for the video, it really inspired me! =]

[SerinaJK]

My story is like yours in terms of not driving. I got my permit years ago, but couldn't get the actual license, because I didn't have the money. Now that I'm working from home with six different programs, earning more than what my full time job paid out, I'm starting to see the results from the responsibility I took to make my life possible. My procrastination was being afraid to move forward and not achieve success through my own terms. Like many, fear held me back from taking the next step.

[CookieMac87]

All of your videos are so inspirational! They always have a different message, you get your points across so well and your views actually make alot of sense! I am the same as you, I wake up and just let the days pass. Well I have been living in my own home with my partner and 18 month old son now for almost 9 months and we're still not fully sorted with the decorating - I am determined to get my son's bedroom done by WEDNESDAY...that's tidying, decorating, laying carpet, arranging it nicely, etc

[DonnieTheWhite]

This has to be one of the most inspirational videos i have seen in a long time. I am in the same boat as you, no GED. I get depressed because i feel like im not living my life, its just wasting away. I really think you have a good idea and im going to try it out. I am gonna do like you with the practice GED tests but I have to think of the other two :]. You seem rather happy, or atleast content, and i am happy you are! (you have an amzing voice btw) so yea thanks alot! <3

[wythenshawe69]

Good vid krissie
