The worst thing about being a serial procrastinator is that there's very little you can do to stop things from falling apart when life finally catches up to you. Seeking support is the best thing you can do when this happens. If or when you feel guilty about not doing those things before, remember that you can think about that and feel bad later lol

stressing about time is something that has affected me deeply over the last few years as I grew from a teenager into an adult. It caused me years of frustration and after spending the last year working on it I have to say I feel that i've improved but this video hits the nail on the head and the way things were worded just clicked with me in a way that i've never been able to understand before. Thank you for making this video, it has brought a whole new perspective into my head.

Productivity may be a my4h but money is not. No one WANTS to get into hustle culture, but young men across the developing world see it as their one and only way to make enough money and live a good life.
That's why so many people are so adamantly defensive of it, and why it's so common to see young guys from eastern europe, middle east and south asia be so into it.
It is, quite literally, a vain hope. The american dream, neatly repackaged into a convenient, bite sized bottle and shipped into the world.

"not for society, not for anybody, but for you". This is the exact advise I needed to hear. My entire life I was told I was smart and that I shouldn't waste my potential. This made me burnout and I haven't accomplished anything of value externally for 3 years. On the other hand, I've been working through traumas and becoming more comfortable being with myself. Part of me thinks the people who told me I was so smart and should make a name for myself were just using me as an excuse so they could stop trying themselves/are already full of regret because they gave up years ago. You make a good point about us being so insignificant. Who gives a crap if you try and "change the world". Most people will just hurt themselves and not make any significant change. Might as well focus on what we can do for ourselves. I think putting our selves first is the most selfless thing we can do because once we are finally at peace then we can give our best selves to those around us and bring others up to our level. Seems like so many people on social media are all lost and hurt themselves and are trying to help others when meanwhile they should just focus on themselves. Just a thought I had. Peace

I think wanting a legacy is quite valid actually, to a certain extent. I think the fact you're a grain of sand in a desert universe is irrelevant, because you can choose what amount of context to consider any event in to determine its meaning, and it'll change but no choice or meaning will be truer than any other. In other words, we tell finite stories about our lives and things in it, and one of the stories that may appeal to us to tell is of our contribution to society. It may be that the idea of a legacy is rooted more in a desire for fame and status that contribution, but being able to tell a story of ever escalating scale is quite dramatic. A smaller, more localized story can be perfectly meaningful, but the same drama is harder to find

As someone who struggles with procrastination and feels like I've never done enough, or need to finish a million things to get no more tasks being left, I needed this vid.
If something will take your whole life to be done, and you'll only be happy once it's done, what then once you're done? Do we really need to produce so much? Do we need to remembered by all, when being remembered by some is enough? Why can't we be enough now, or just be fine with what we've done without worrying about what we will do?
Biggest takeaway I got from this is that you literally cannot do every cool things or have every cool opportunity that you see out there. Having one "important" experience means you won't have time some other one, so we can't worry so much about doing the "right" activities all the time

Four thousand weeks is a fantastic read, changed my perspective on productivity and efficiency entirely. It answers the question, āwhat should I do with my timeā in a sane and digestible sense. A great antithesis to the endless anxiousness and misguided messaging that resides in a majority of books/podcasts/short-form video content.
