Lately I have been struggling with procrastination and overthinking a lot. It has taken a toll on my studies and college and I just have to say thank you soo much! I wish you and anyone reading this all the best😊

Labeling this as a productivity video was low key a trick but the most helpful of tricks! 💛✨ Your videos are so well researched and I always get introduced to something new! Thanks for what you do

I'm from West Bengal, India. A reason for not being able to work well can also be the weather. It's so freaking hot in here since forever. Only thing i feel throughout the day is discomfort, annoyance, anger, headache.... It's really not something that can be ignored or cured in some way... I mean sure if you have money you can buy AC. But that isn't possible for everyone. We don't have pretty cafes, nice libraries or anything in here.... Just waiting for the weather to get better abd getting my work piled up which is adding to the annoyance and anger

I was just talking to a friend about this the other morning. She was asking about apps to limit social media use and I was saying how I just find something else to procrastinate with cause we don’t address the underlying desire that leads us there in the first place. This is an amazing list of tools all in one place, thank you so much!!

I needed this video so much today, thank you for posting this! I've been really struggling with emotional deregulation and procrastination lately, so this video was really helpful even in just letting me know I'm not alone. Thanks again!

[fireystella]

Love this! Tip No.2 for emotional regulation is used during EMDR treatment to process memories in a safer/less scary way. It is definitely a powerful way to remove the initial emotion from a situation, by playing it almost in third person (this could be a TV, Cinema screen or theatre stage... whichever resonates the most!).

[traversatile]

Thank you! Even when I was new to the productivity community, I knew how big of a factor this was. No matter what techniques or self-management or whatever I have, those don't matter if I cannot handle/regulate my emotions.
That's why stuff like depression is so awful! A person could have all the productivity tips in the world but as soon as an insurmountable wall of emotion comes up, those tips go out the window. It's not that they're lazy or have a bad work ethic, it's that their needs aren't met (emotional needs but also, as you said, basic survival needs that can contribute to feeling fractured or unsafe).

Amazing advice! Quick thing about intention: i am not a subscriber because the music behind the meditations etc. makes me anxious. Please, add an option with something more neutral or no music! it's a very personal preference what kind of music fits.

Great video Michelle, a random thought I had when I was watching it was appreciating how great your B-Roll footage is to illustrate the points you're making! I'll definitely be implementing some of these ideas to help with my serial procrastination!

[sususnandes]

I had to stop watching videos from the productivity community because i was getting overwhelmed, now i stick with the basics and it works

[realmusic]

That exercise to focus on your surroundings will definitely help me a ton!

[susanvelez]

God I just adore your content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[prettypizza]

Michelle you are my favorite person on the internet. The way you curate and present your content amazes me every time. It always speaks to me in a way that is new, interesting, understandable and actionable. My issue is that when there are a lot of tipps but you cant think let alone act on all of them so they kind of just diappear? Like gems lost in the stream of scrolling. Could you do a video on how to consume personal development content in a way that will help you actually internalize and implement things one by one?

[joannedavies]

Thanks for this video Michelle!! It’s just what I needed. I do struggle with MH and I overthink a lot which then affects my mood. Particularly a problem this week.
I’ll need to watch this video a few times and try and take onboard your advice plus look into this topic of Emotional Regulation further.

[mariaborden]

Any suggestions on what to do or how to handle negative emotions and thoughts when its due to Depression or PMDD?

[riralord]

the whole video was so personal for me! like I was on a videocall, you were talking directly to me! so helpful! thank you so much. 💮

[fernandapalhari]

Loved this video! Not just the content (as always, amazing) but also the style/arts :)

[Miliregretz]

As usual really solid advice! Gonna put all of this in my self care kit :)
