I hate being annoying and I am horrified by the idea of public shaming, but given that Dr. Peterson puts great effort into recommending the Self Authoring Program over his Twitter, I think I should get over my lack of courage and take this opportunity to advertise for the Self Authoring Program as this video is very relevant to it:

“Often people won’t specify their goals because they don’t like to specify conditions for failure.” That shit hit home

"You waste 6 hours a day."
As a person who wastes 24 hours a day, I was really ashamed when I heard that.

I'm procrastinating by watching this video, rationalizing that it will prevent future procrastination.

I love that he's not afraid of saying "that's stupid" or "cause you're useless". He has no need to be condescending and cherry pick words not to offend you, he respects you enough to assume you won't throw a tantrum over being called stupid, but instead listen to how not to be.

Peterson is like a father that many people didn't have. Useful advice.

I wish I had a teacher like him when I was 20

"You're a bad employee and a worse boss." This whole point speaks to me on a really personal level. What a great clip.

Me Negotiating with myself...
"You need to start working hard!"
"Well what its in it for me?"
"Jordan Peterson Videos."
"Deal!"

Its a win-win.

I've met so many people my age, or slightly younger that sit around on disability and very, VERY depressed with their lives. They are too afraid to go outside because they don't have much experience in social interaction. They give up at the slightest inconvenience because they've been "told they can do anything." Then they try to contact me to talk about their feelings. I don't have time to respond to these messages and often miss them.
When i finally notice the messages they send me they've already spiraled down into a mental state that is panic attack after anxiety attack after panic attack because they've constructed in their head that they've done something wrong.

Am I the only one watching this while procrastinating doing something?

[eduardoneujahr]

After hearing about Peterson and using some of his advice in my personal life, it's amazing to see how much I've grown in such a short time. Source of quality knowledge right there.

I hope being 25 is not too late to only discover Jordan.
