I've been wanting to make this video but it took me a while because wanted to make it *thorough*. Procrastination is such a complex problem that it didn't seem right to brand any one app or technique as the "easy fix".

But if I think back what changed between my 5th grade self (horrible blend of procrastinator & perfectionist, staying up past midnight to finish my silly little book reports) and my current college student self (staying on top of things, always starting work early, etc.), I could identify THREE categories of important changes that TOGETHER made alllll the difference for me. I really hope this video helps 💞

    So glad I‘m not the only one for whom the „just get rid of distractions“ thing doesn’t work. When I deleted almost everything from my phone, I started checking my bank app multiple times a day, which I had NEVER done before 😅
  • @rozminhall
    The efforts that you put in your videos are massive, making you massively underrated! Btw, please try A/B testing your thumbnails!
  • I love your videoooos, I started watching them like 1 or 2 years ago, I was frustrated because I couldn't understand english language, so I listen to all your videos, and I remember one day I was lying in my bed and suddenly, I realized I understood everything you were saying, it was magical, 2 years later I'm here watching this new video while I'm working on my english job <3 I am very grateful for your content that helped me learn English in a way that I enjoy it
  • Production quality, as per usual, is impeccable. Every time I get into a slump where I feel like I'm wasting time, you always bring up time tracking and it's usually such a big help! (if i would just stop forgetting it, that'd be great). I definitely am not consistent with it long term, but it's so helpful for a few months with getting out of a mental rut with wasting time/ feeling like I'm wasting time. Anyways, this certainly is my sign to get back to it again. Also, just overall this video is full of so many good tips. I really wish the algorithm would get it's shit together and stop killing your channel. It's silly that they "punish" long term breaks from the platform.

    What if I am watching this to procrastinate 😢
  • @iteite9488
    i'm really bad with procrastination, i still haven't managed to beat it. but one thing that does help a lot is actually resting! setting the time to sit down and watch tv or do a hobbie or whatever (and not punishing myself if i didn't get to do whatever i needed to do). i've seen a few youtubers say things like oh schedule something fun for after you're done with your tasks or otherwise you're not allowed to do it, it feels so toxic and counterproductive :( would love an updated video on time tracking!! you've always made me wanna try, but it's always felt so overwhelming. also sidenote but i don't think you're failing at youtube, but youtube is failing you. someone already commented that it's terrible the algorithm punishes long breaks from its platform, and i totally agree with them. your content quality is absolutely amazing and you give the most useful tips, and you're helping so many of us. sending you big love 💕
  • @tahura6017
    no beatrice, you're not failing as a youtuber. dont think that. The mindset part really resonated with me
  • @haleybrown7214
    your videos are always so thorough and creative!!! you really stand out from other youtubers bc you actually have b roll and science and not just talking at a camera the whole time ❤❤❤❤
  • @tamarap1022

  • @sonnyangelSid
    I have a big group project due next week & am currently feeling that intimidating factor of procrastination. I’m going to try planning in detail everything I need to do, even just opening the google doc! Thanks for the advice 😊
  • @vesta.0407
    Oh my goodness, perfect timing! This weekend for me is free since I don‘t have to go to my mum to babysit my brother and I really want to get quite some work done without thinking about anything else. I should really consider doing time-tracking and planning out my days properly at this point since my training at language school demands A LOT. Thank you for this video! 💛
  • @rebekaknocks
    I will be watching all of your videos. Love your content can’t wait for more!
  • @jaysauer834
    My sign to finally finish Feel Good Productivity! Great video.
  • @tonypoulos1187
    Yes recharging yourself is so important. In this day and age of "Go Go" it it often overlooked.
  • @colorsofavon934
    You get more done in a day than I do in a week. Great Job! 💖
  • Hi!!! I LOVE your videos, they’re sooo relatable and as it happens I’m leaving to university in 3 months with a tight budget, it would be amazing if you could make a video on how to manage your finances using your notion template!!!
  • @Jasmeetkkaur
