Hey everyone, in this video I talk about the 5 reasons you never stick to the goals, visions and habits you set for yourself. There's quite a few ideas I think are important here, from hyperbolic discounting (the need for delayed gratification) to rationalisation of our excuses and avoidance of discomfort.

I hope this video truly helps you in some way. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I'd really love to hear from you personally and you can reach out to me anytime via Instagram direct message, or email

Best wishes,
Keshav :)

Outside of YouTube, I'm also currently the CEO of Revolution Hive - a grassroots social enterprise working to change the education system in the UK. We go into schools, colleges, universities teaching young people (often from the most disadvantaged backgrounds) the life lessons they don't always get to learn in curriculum.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    So true when we insistently keep avoiding things that we need to do we train our brain to avoid discomfort, thank you really helpful.
  • @justpras7064
    thank you keshav sir ..i m just 18 years old and i face this problem of not sticking to my preparation and studies and the fifth reason i would mention and agree is that by constant and continued lack of interest , i totally lost my will of fullfilling my own dream , partly due to the discouragement and now i feel i dont belong here ..god help me and take me to where i really belong to..about what i m passionate and i need not to be pressurised to do that
  • I use YouTube for learning 90% and allow 10% for entertainment. Have learned how to retrain my subconscious and use hypnosis to aide with insomnia. I filter information and select only the best for me which is why I'm here 😊 Your chanel is high quality!
  • @jonwhitney9559
    A lifetime of being told I am not capable- not up to being responsible- but I've proven these false- and I can do the tasks that are required of me- and so can you.
  • Choosing the wrong things to stick too and unrealistic expectations
  • Another point : craving for novelty and trying to see if there is something better than my "idea". Watched it again today after 6 months.
  • @robjchristopher
    Fear of history repeating and as others have said, failing / being show up as being a fraud. I also get lost in tasks and push aside the ones I fear / am not sure about. I need to find a way to reframe my thinking on this. Need my passion / spark back!
  • @dawnfisher3860
    You are amazing 🌞 I learn so much from you please don’t stop you are truthfully on point and I love the way you speak I can just understand it and hear it and it’s not all fast in a video you were so teaching me thank you for everything you do I really mean that one of your biggest fans keep going please I need you lol 😆 ♥️🌞💯🙏🏼
  • The truth for me is: a) boredom or b) overwhelmed and want to see for something "new" or c) multitasking
  • @marliscott56
    Reason 5> I keep on NOT doing the tasks I have to do because I am afraid of what I am capable of. I believe that I am (if you could say) "weak". I grew up with parents with small minds. They didn't teach me much, sometimes not even the things they should be teaching me. I had to hear things from different people and had to do research myself. Which probably learned me to be a bit more independant. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my parents amd I would die for them. The problem is that I am a big dreamer with a big mind (not literally), they are small minded and not one for dreams. It made me think that my big dreams amd goals are pointless. I know I shouldn't let anyone else decide and shape my life. I just can't help but feel that if I do try and accomplish my dreams, I might make them feel left out, which doesn't make sense at all. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want someone to be there with me on the road to my success. I know that i can only depend on myself because I am the only one whose going to be there 100% of the time, but I just don't trust myself enough to help me on the path. I don't know how to trust myself... Whoaahhh.... i just typed whatever came to mind and it made me realized some deep sh*t...
  • @TheKickasskatie
    I fear failure so badly I never start anything and if I do, I find a way to get out of it before I have a chance to lose
  • This video was amazing, thank you Keshav! I always enjoy watching your content, I learn new things every time and it really helps me to look at myself and what I can do improve myself 😊 For my fifth reason, I think I avoid doing things/don’t stick to things because I don’t feel like I can meet the high standards I set for myself, which makes me feel stressed, anxious, and scared of failure. I always feel like everything I do has to be perfect the first time I do it, otherwise I have failed. I really need to change this aspect of my thinking, I’ve been working on it but I still have a long way to go!
  • U deserve much more subscription, and much more likes. ❤️ Your video is great ❤️ I mean it 😌🌷
  • i always fail to do things coz i think i have lots of lotssss of things to do and i couldnot focus on one thing that is in my priority list i want to do all thing together like everyday from all expect of my life .
  • @heyamsh1453
    What a great video! I've been waiting to see you in a new video❤. For me the fifth reason is that I put aims which take a long time so I just get bored from it and think like I'm not going to have the result that I want so I just don't stick to things..
