"first of all, I don't like your tone"

[TheLaIvana]

I just noticed how lately in every video you add something new in your editing style, like this time intro. Really makes videos so much more interesting to watch :)

[livingunjaded]

Guilty of watching "how to stop procrastinating" videos as a form of procrastination.... :p

[lilli]

I love how you said ‘a self inflicted obligation’. Really good point. No one is actually going to know if I don’t finish the book, reply to the form email etc. why do I keep doing it?! I swear I’ve never thought of it that way.
Also, as a result of watching this video, I have cleansed my life of people who are not a positive influence in my life. Felt almost as wonderful as ditching my entire magazine collection! Thank you.

Your video aesthetic feels like an expensive spa

[Nicole-yilo]

My mind runs constantly and I started implementing your idea of writing these random ideas down while I was watching. So simple, yet so helpful! Wow. I also liked your tip on setting reminders in my phone. Again, simple and doable. I have recently started using the timer on my phone, and every time I do I get a rush of endorphins from feeling successful. Thank you, MuchelleB!

[MJBpeace]

Hi Muchelleb!
I would appreciate if you put the main points from your video in the description box. It would help me to organize the takeaway message . (also I believe it would be helpful for not native speakers, like myself)
Thank you for making videos for us :) I love the little ocean-sea cut aways :3

[WhatJadeCreates]

Oh wow, just in time ☺️💕 literally procrastinating right now 😅

[IvyWinter]

that list of things that pop into your mind that you want to do or check out is such a simple but smart idea! Im ALWAYS thinking of things to google (like, literally i just love learning new things) and its such a distraction!

[DianeJohnsonStroud]

Thanks for validating my practice of honoring my feelings. I've learned I really can't accomplish anything until I've processed my emotions.

[TwoHeartsOneRoof]

trying to procrastinate less and be more productive in a short space to time so great tips!

[AprilSixsmith]

Your videos have been so on point lately! This one was super helpful. I really want to implement that tip about keeping a notepad next to you for those random moments when your brain thinks of other things to do. I could see that being extremely helpful!

[tracys]

I have been so procrastinating lately. Even though I feel under the weather I need to do some reading for grad school and have been struggling. Your video came at the perfect time.

[NoelleSam]

I loved your role play in the beginning. It was helpful to understand the advice after seeing the realistic problem play out in a silly form. Now, I have more clarity and ideas on how to get rid of some of these unnecessary time consuming habits.  Thank you for making this video.

[SarahSur]

Oh my goodness, I frickin love this video, you have no idea, it's made me want to go back & rewatch all of your past videos like this. You are a beautiful human. Thanks muchly for posting this. Xxx

[starvedoldsoul]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel a sudden sense of discipline which is always helpful in pushing through the heavy feeling of being the world's procrastinater.

[jesseingram]
