To any chronic procrastinators: this is a lengthy but valuable video. Dr. Knaus should have defined procrastination earlier on, but he did preface it well. His segment on Low Frustration Tolerance could also have mentioned 'low value of reward' and 'low expectation of reward.' The first suggests that what you're doing is not worthwhile will the latter is the mindset that one's efforts will not produce wanted results. Both are killers of action.

Is it bad if, as the video loaded, the first thing that came to mind was "I'll watch this later"?

[alskndlaskndal]

It's a lot to ask procrastinators to watch 3 long videos... but maybe I'll do it sometime when I'm avoiding other work! :-)

[EthanBackToLifeMETAL]
