Procrastinating by watching a video about not wasting time... Irony hurts...

[davinkim]

I have reached a new kind of procrastination where I watch endless videos about peocrastination. The bottom has no end.

he constantly has me saying, i knew that but i didnt know that i knew that.

[TwoPercentSkimm]

I am in love with this guy's brain and his ability to relate his knowledge to others.

argh... the truth hurts watching this video, i'm guilty, and ouch

This 10 minutes was more effective and persuasive than almost any motivational book I've ever read.

I started watching Dr Peterson's lectures a couple of months ago and have already changed my daily behaviour quite a lot. The 2 ideas that I'm trying to apply -gradually, since the change is not easy at all- are telling the truth and everything you do (or don't do) matters. Still a long way to go for me but I have understood that's the way I need to go in life. Jordan Peterson is a gift to the world

I can say a thing for sure:
every seconds spent on Peterson
is a golden investment.
His videos are the few things which are not waste of time on Youtube.

I've avoided doing the things I need. It clicked last year that I was not satisfied with my current job and where I am. I started working on videography to switch careers. But after coming across Dr. Peterson, I realized how I wasn't doing enough to hit my goal. I was slacking off, and doing things to satisfy me right now, rather then work for the future. I've since cut back on my video game playing dramatically, it frees up a lot of time. Now, I've built a website, have some video experience and references, got an internship in New York City, and am currently in talks with filming games for a Rugby league. Dr. Peterson helped me realize what I needed to do.

I spent almost eight years in growing nihilism and the worst thing was I honestly thought there was no alternative since "the world's bad, life is meaningless" used to seem the only truth to me. I remember exactly how I got into Peterson's lectures and self-help. I woke up once in the morning and figured out the root cause of my problems were fear and lack of self esteem (that's aside from a lack of a compelling goal I used to think I was entitled to). So I googled self esteem on youtube and discovered the Actualized channel, and then Peterson's lectures. Thank God it didn't take me another eight years....

He’s a genius!!! He’s the mentor I wish I had in my youth. At 58 I take his teachings to heart and apply the
. Better late tan never . He’s SO right about waisting time !!!! I’m sharing his videos with my son who’s 20 years old.

[nulifidianpos]

This man really makes me want to be a professor. Wow.

[FilterExel]

This man should create his own motivational program. His rational approach to solving personal problems and extemporaneous presentation really connects with people.

This kinda hit me, as I sometimes am guilty of Nihilism. "Life is suffering, the questions is do you want a meaningless suffering of a meaningful suffering?"

Im watching this at 1 am and this alone is a great argument that is making me want to do something with my life, anything meaningful.

The emotion in his eyes and voice tells you how much he means everything he says. More power to you Dr. Peterson.

my girlfriend and i cleaned our closets last night. thanks dr peterson

[zbynekdrab]

Holy shit this guy is a living legend.

[aaronruiz]

The call to responsibility in his words gives me the chills for reasons I can't explain. It's like it awakens the longing for meaning embedded in my physiology. I am so incredibly grateful for the knowledge this man is sharing with us all. It has and continues to change my perspective and therefore my life. Thank you, Jordan ❤

I've been avoiding this video forever....
