[00:00:18] Hello there today. We're here to talk about Why do people procrastinate? I know it's a real-life problem and 90% people are facing this and I just want to break this down into simple easy ways

[00:00:33] First I want to discuss the reasons why we procrastinate and then Rishabh and I will tell you easy ways that you can beat the Procrastination. Okay, so let's get started Rishabh What are say tell me one reason why people procrastinate?

[00:00:48] First of all, you're unclear on the exact steps you need to take to reach your goal Okay So where does why where does that come from? First of all that may be because people don't have a proper goal

[00:01:01] Yeah, they don't even know what their goal is. Correct? Yeah, that's why they're unclear on the steps to go reach it So the first thing is you got to have a proper goal What could be the second reason? Maybe your goal is too big

[00:01:16] Give me an example of that see supposing I tell you you have to make 10,000 crores in one month It's it's too it's too unrealistic So yeah, it's definitely a reason why people could procrastinate if their goal is not realistic enough What is another reason why people procrastinate?

[00:01:39] You know, sometimes the goal isn't yours is either your parents or is it like supposing my mom Tells me to do Carnatic music. It's her goal not mine So what would that lead to you?

[00:01:52] You'd first never attend classes on time or you would never come back in practice. You just keep bunking correct? Yeah That's what I would okay. So that's a huge reason why Procrastination happens. What could be another reason Rishabh?

[00:02:06] You are not clear on your why okay, let me ask you a question why are you so Crazy about taekwondo like you go half an hour before time for your classes You show up even if it's five days a week twice a day

[00:02:23] You're on time and just there to show up. Why what's your wife? It's because it's a way of life Perfect. So if you didn't have a why would you be so serious in it?

[00:02:34] No, I wouldn't so do you understand the power of having a why yes I do Perfect. That's the reason why clearly you never procrastinate like one door class. Okay. What's another reason? You know sometimes your goal isn't specific enough What next give me an example? like

[00:02:55] It's not specific enough means like I don't know how to say it but it's just not very like supposing You say that I Want goats? Okay, you're not specific enough you you're not specific. You're not saying like I want ten goats

[00:03:12] I want twelve goats. They're just saying I want goats. It's not really specific Another example which I know is a lot of people say I want to make a lot of money Okay, they'll put it in their manifestation book now

[00:03:25] What does the universe know for some person hundred dollars is a lot of money for another person? Ten dollars is a lot of money for some somebody one million is a lot of money So what is a lot of money you got to be specific right?

[00:03:37] And that's why they don't end up manifesting what they want and similarly even they also procrastinate because they don't have a specific You know goal that is not that is that is very specific. So what's another reason why people procrastinate?

[00:03:52] You know, sometimes people are waiting for motivation or confidence to arrive before they act Okay, like supposing I went for a tournament okay at a condo tournament I Don't go for the tournament and then after the tournament only is over

[00:04:08] I'm waiting still sitting on the sofa set and Someone else comes and tells me yes, you can do this man. You can complete the tournament then what's the point? If you're waiting for the motivation Wow, that's a fantastic one

[00:04:21] Yeah, perfect and give me one more one last reason where people procrastinate Hmm They might be I Okay, maybe oh, yeah, they might be Fearful our things. Maybe they're really scared of Something so that's why they procrastinate so fear of what? fear of their goal

[00:04:51] Fear of safe suppose if you didn't go to the tournament, okay Because you were waiting for motivation there could be another child in the same sofa set sitting next to you That hasn't gone to the tournament because that's scared is that child is scared

[00:05:06] scared of losing the tournament or Scared of what his teacher will tell him or scared of what his parents will tell him So that's fear right? That's fear lock you or release you it locks you perfect so these are like really You know very

[00:05:24] Big reasons why people procrastinate and I want to also ask you Rishabh in student life What do you think give me one or two reasons that make students procrastinate? so Depending on the student. It's like disengagement Sometimes they're not you know interested in in whatever they are doing

[00:05:47] Okay, I'd like to tell you because when I used to go to a regular school I Used to hate the lessons that I learned I used to hate doing my homework

[00:05:57] I used to hate studying so what used to end up happening is my mom will tell me she used to take music classes She'll say by the time I finished the class

[00:06:05] I wanted to finish your homework and study this chapter. I'll ask you questions and because I hated it I just never take that book and open it Okay, I'll wait wait wait wait wait and then just before like you know she'll say okay

[00:06:20] I'm I finished my class when it I'm coming to ask you questions I'll be like if I am in this five minutes five minutes I just need five minutes when I haven't even started do you think five minutes is going to make any difference?

[00:06:30] No, and then I'll get end up getting hit by her because I've not done what I'm supposed to be doing So disengagement is huge. What is another reason why students could get distracted? It's just mainly their distractions what if like

[00:06:46] The child is supposed to do homework and he's continuously thinking about video games Or he's thinking about some shots. He's watched or something something like this these kind of distractions. This is also will be there

[00:06:59] Perfect, so I think this has been quite an amazing episode. It's quite long also So at this point of time I feel we'll come back to you in the next episode on how we can beat the procrastination disease
