I´ve been watching your videos for years now, and almost every time they make me think "omg this is gold i need to write it down so i dont forget". Thank you for making such an interesting and useful content!

I am NOTORIOUS for avoiding tasks or switching to something less important, especially when I'm on a deadline. I love the idea about listing and investigating those alerts and the associated feelings. A lot of the time, I am nervous about doing a task wrong or I'm dreading the boredom of reading an entire chapter for my college classes.

It's funny, while I know a lot of this stuff, there's something about how you've presented it that made parts of it click more in my brain. Gonna dig through some of your old videos for ideas on how to figure out what to pivot to. I think I remember there being one a year or two ago. A big reason why I get stuck in scrolling is it feels like there's no better option. But if it makes me feel like crap - even doing nothing/just being present would be a better option.

Random, but I LOVE your bed headboard and floral sheets. So cute 😍

I love your videos and I respect your content no matter what, but I just wanted to say I always really prefer videos who just 'properly' name their chapters/bookmarks. It feels less like I'm being tricked into watching all of it regardless of relevance to me, and more like I'm being helped. But that's just me! I could be the minority on that.

The only way that I've been able to get stuff done is to add one thing to the list that I really hate to do. So if I start out with having to do laundry, washing dishes, and prepping for tomorrow, I will hardly get these things done because they are all very boring and I've done them about 10 million times. But if I add that I have to check the oil in the car, I notice that I can whiz bang out those first 3 tasks. I hate checking the oil in the car. On a side note, has anyone ever become very absorbed in what a content creator was saying that you kind of lose yourself in the video? And then when it's over, you happen to look down at your leg and see a snake on your leg and really freak out big time? But then 2 seconds later realize that it was the belt to your bathrobe? Anyone done that? I'm not going to wear a belt when I watch Muchelle's videos in the future.
