[lilgrim131]

God bless this guy

[SanFrangiants24]

im procrastinating by watching this

[Haiina]

Procrastination can't be beat.. its impossible. now excuse me while i go watch other videos instead of doing my homework...

[DUBZiiE]

Help me, my coursework was due in september 09 and i still havent done it. If i dont do it by tomorrow im in detention for a week!

[macdaddylorenzo]

"most of us don't realize we're procrastinating"

personally, that's the ONLY thing that I realize : /

[templar555]

if I'm watching your video? well that means that I know I procrastinate

[SteamSkyLight]

I'm announcing my procrastination right now, I mustn't (Must not) procrastinate on my homework any longer, I'll get it done.

Thanks for the help Father Hurley.

[jwang604]

I procrastinate all the time when it's time to hand in papers and to study for an exam because I want to do it perfect but I know I can't so by procrastinating it gives me an excuse to not getting an A in them. The best way to beat procrastination is to tell yourself that you WANT to do it. For example, I WANT TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM because it will help me pass the course so I don't have to take it again. Make yourself believe that it's What you WANT to do instead of what you HAVE to do.

Admitting procrastination doesn't really do the trick. I've already known that I am a procrastinator and people know it. I have no shame in letting people know.

[Hellagoodedie]

thank you black guy with cleveland voice! you are awesome!

[philbertmill2]

stop making videos and get working!!!!

[pioli12]

i'm screwed I have a paper due tomorrow and i've only written 3 sentences so far!!

[LiLxEz]

did you finish?

and what were you doing here lol

[pioli12]

yeah I stayed up to like 3 Am but got it done. I serisously have a internet surfing addiction.

[hyptormors]

@pioli12 Look at the brighter side, your a hardworking student to actually finish the project even if it eats into your sleep time. I know how it is because i put my projects way back and have to complete them all at the night before the assignment is due. Just start asap next time and think about what you really want vs what you want. (What you really want is what matters).

Tis my worst enemy.

Thanks for the advice man, I will finish my essay before new year's eve evening!

[zloben9000]

NERD !

[fatherhurley]

Interesting comment.

[zloben9000]

you know i procrastinate a lot.

and I am up to stopping

still you have the nerdy style you need to reduce !

[TheSophist2007]

@fatherhurley interesting to know leonardo davinci was a procrastinator

[fatherhurley]

@TheSophist2007 I didn't know that. Some people can wait to the last minute and do well. But since most can't it's best not to do so. Especially when it comes to homework, work deadlines, etc. Thanks for the comment...

[ItsTurningGreen002]

@zloben9000 But a badass nerd at that.

[octanetripledax]

everybody have a nice hard drink and take a good look at yourselves

[aych86]

i should be working....

[tofusauce]

i should be leaving to go to work...

[edenskid]

I face my students tomorrow morning: and now at about 9pm, I have NOT prepared at all!!!! A whole day is gone down the drain!

[ShaunCollier]

Father Hurley, I know I am a procrastinator. Yesterday, I even ordered two highly-rated procrastination books. Though I am not sure why I ordered them, because if I read them, will I not be procrastinating?

I have lots of coursework to do and need to complete all of my units for a college course - otherwise I'll be kicked out. Yet I find it so difficult to get started. Please could you advise me on what to do next. I have no idea, and the thought of failing is completely putting me off it all.

[fatherhurley]

My advice to you is start as soon as you read this reply. I am a procrastinator "in treatment". I force myself to start on assignments, sermons, etc. early. That really is the cure to procrastinating. Procrastinating gives us every reason in the world not to start. Think about it. You know that if you don't do the work, you will be put it out. Yet, the thought of being put out is stopping you from doing the very assignments you need to do to stop this undesired event. START NOW. Peace and love.

[fuckmook22]

omg this is so stupid, if i didn't already know n have already admitted to myself that i am a procrastinator, then what the hell would i be doing watching a vid on how to cure it?

[fatherhurley]

There are many alcoholics, who deep within know they are alcoholics, but will never admit it. Thank you for the negative comment. Peace.

[fuckmook22]

I don't think you can compare alcoholism to procrastination, and I'm not gonna begin to explain why because I'd be here all day

[fatherhurley]

My God. Take Psychology 101 and you find that addictions (deeply rooted habits) all have similar traits and affects on us. Can you agree that a person whom procrastinates severely can hinder their own progress in life?

[keevs4u]

i am the MASTER of procrastination!!

i admit it!!! i suck and this sucks!!!

and im procratinating right now!! i have 2 finish these 2 exams that will detirmine if i get in2 this university i want to go to... and im watching this!!

IM SORRY FATHER HURLEY BUT I BLAME YOU!!!

LOL

I NEED HELP...

[drew1soccer]

keev4u- your situation sounds similar to mine. 5 a.m. right now, trying to do a paper for today. so i clicked on your profile for some stupid reason and saw that drum video and, being a drummer, had to watch it, which led me to watching other drumming videos. i hate you

[TocoLaPiano]

hahahah... you almost dragged me into the keevs4u's drum video. Instead, I just started my homework though.. not a super duper accomplishment considering it's 1:48 a.m. right now.. but.. (^_^)v

[jimboy162]

Ironically I've watched 5 "beat procrastination" films already, because I don't want to do this essay. I need major help lol.

[Audlife123]

This is a very good video. It helps much better then, "make your task fun!"

[mys0ck]

Procrastinating right now =[im going to try =]

[fatherhurley]

That's good. Keep working at it and eventually you will have a "breakthrough".

[srrhx3]

Thank you so much this helped!:]

You are a genius.

[fatherhurley]

You are welcome. Thanks for the kind words.

[Gscheitben]

Your words motivated me to continue my homework... thanks for that...

[fatherhurley]

No problem. Thanks for commenting.

[navysealboy62]

Thanks for posting this. Now I can finally get better grades

[fatherhurley]

Glad I could be of some help. Peace. Good luck in your studies. Also, thanks for the friend invite. Peace.

[eskobar1987]

[fatherhurley]

Your admission is the first step to overcoming it. I think I will have to do more videos on this subject. Peace.

[305636]

very direct, concise, and well defined main point. keep 'em coming.

[fatherhurley]

I really enjoy your videos, so it is a joy that you see you feel likewise. BTW...I will contribute something to FinancialUnity soon. Peace.
