  1. 2) The video is about to always do your work. When doing your work it can be very hard or doing you project. You will have to do the easy parts first and then do the hard part.

  3. 3) Based upon my experience, this means to block out any distractions. For me, this includes my phone, laptop, TV, and social media. It isn't easy to put down your phone if you found something cute online or a new trending video that you just have to see. These things are never more important than that huge task that you know you should be finishing. I always fall as a victim to being on YouTube and other social media for hours, with my homework giving me the evil eye because it is sitting on my desk incomplete.

    4) This matters because if you want to be successful in life, you can't continue to put off your tasks. They need to be done the same minute, hour, or day. Not the next day or week. Your work should not be held to the last minute, even though it happens to all of us. Now when I say this, I don't mean that you are a horrible person if you do procrastinate, you just listened to that little voice in your head that you could do the task tomorrow and not worry about it. We all have that little voice, so there isn't anything to feel bad about. Sometimes, we just have to push past it and get the work done. Winners get the work done, while procrastinators are just lying to themselves.

    I can apply this concept to my life to make it better by stopping my procrastination habit. For example, let's say that I have a paper due next week. I will tell myself, a full seven days, I can just do that tomorrow, when I actually should have started it the day it was assigned. I always do this, and it's a bad habit. What ends up happening is that I will not start the task the day that it is assigned, so I end up doing the assignment the day before it is due. I actually have done this many times last year, including big projects that could affect my grade badly or well. However, I am learning this year in high school that I can't keep doing this and I have ended up starting and maybe even finishing my work the day that it is assigned.

  4. 2. To summarize the video it basically talked about how people procrastinate so much that they forget to do there homework. There's steps on to how to get rid of procrastination. Another thing is that you should take advantage of tackling your assignments first then to do something else you don't have time for.
    3. To me this means that we should stop procrastinating and start doing work on the day that it was given to us. We should tackle work first then to start playing video games or watch TV and say I'll do it later but really you lying to yourself. Its better to get work done then to leave it to the very last moment right when its do the very next day.
    4. To me this is important because sometimes in a day I procrastinate a few times and not do any work that's due the very next day. To me that's bad because it shows that you did it in the morning and didn't try your best in the work that was assign to you. This is important to me because i can tackle many things in such like an hour or thirty minutes. I would leave the small things last and put the big things first. So that at the end the process can go a little bit more faster at the end.

    I can apply these concepts in my life to get a better grade then what you would regularly get. The more time you have the better the project, better the grade. The other concepts that they give in the video are really helpful in many things. You should leave the distractions alone and work in a place where there's nothing to bother you. This is important to make my life better and procrastination free.

  5. 2.In my own words the video is telling us to stop procrastinating.When you procrastinate you just lie to yourself.You tell yourself something that you know isn't true and that you're not actually going to finish later.She gave us three ways to stop procrastination:1. eat an elephant,2.pick off the tiny goblins first,lastly 3.ignore the siren's songs.

    3.Based on my experience this means that when you procrastinate,you just lie to yourself so that you will stop thinking about that thing you have to finish.The first step means that instead of trying to take on the huge project all at once,attack it in chunks.Get certain things done at a time.The second step means that before doing the project all at once,get the easy things done first.Lastly,the third step is telling us to get rid of all distractions that will make you procrastinate.

    4.This matters because in order to keep my grades up I have to do my work.If I just put all of my work off then my grades will drop.If my grades drop low enough then I won't be eligible to play basketball.no one else is going to do your work for you so don't expect them to.Another reason this is important because if you have to get up early every morning to go to work,then you can't show up late all the time or they will fire you.Without a job you won't be able to pay for yourself and you will end up on the streets.
    I can apply this to my life by getting all my classwork done in class and all my homework done the night is assigned.When you put off your work,then you will have to rush later on to get it done.When you do this,your work tends to become sloppy and you will not get the same points for if you would have done it on time.By getting things done on time,this will open up my free time.So if you get the more important things in your life done first then you will be able to spend the rest of your time doing what ever you want.

  6. 2. The video is aimed towards an audience who are talented procrastinators, even beginning with "Are you watching this instead of doing what you're supposed to?" Three steps are taught to help end procrastination: organize the project into smaller pieces, reward yourself for getting through pieces, and clear a path of any distractions that might tempt you.

    3. This means taking your big goal, whether its an essay, project, or other large task, and making it easier for yourself in productive methods. Making it easier can be splitting the entire goal into much smaller goals, or having someone help you to stay away from the things you end up being distracted by. Overwhelming yourself is easy, so making an effort to not be lazy but still not doing too much at once can be a hard balance to find. As 20% of the population identifies as chronic procrastinators, it's obvious that a good chunk of people have difficulty finding a good balance, therefore making their lives harder.

    4. This matters because in places where projects must be done-- work, school, even personal projects-- the human population finds it difficult to start doing and stop waiting. Waiting doesn't help you at all, and thinking about it logically, there's no real reason to sit around now when you could always just sit around AFTER you get done what needs to be done.Besides, when all is finished, there are more opportunities open because you don't worry about what you should be doing. Going out is much more fun when nothing is hanging over your head, waiting for you to get to it. In the working class world, you do what you need to so that you get paid and you can help out your family and yourself. Learning good habits young leads to a healthy, successful future.
    I could easily apply the steps taught in video to my own life, because though my work ethic is strong, I still dislike working on projects because the task can be so daunting. There is the terrible feeling of trying to enjoy yourself while chaos goes through your head-- projects, deadlines, essays, everything you really should have done before going out. I have a fairly good understanding of when and how I should get things finished, but when it comes to projects, if I'm not very careful and organized, everything quickly becomes a mess. My summer project was planned out, but I procrastinated until the weekend before school started and ended up spending my very last days of summer shut up in my room, painting pictures of book characters onto index cards for about 7 hours straight. It's not healthy, it's not fun, and the end result was mediocre.

  8. 1. video and notes

    2. In my own words the video summarized is that to stop procrastination take out any distractions. Also break down the project into smaller parts to make it easier. And start on the most important thing.

    3. Based upon my experience I know this video is gonna mean a lot because I always procrastinate which is a bad thing. I know this video is going to help me stop procrastination. To me this means that you need to start on the project or whatever your doing now not later. People who start on the project first get a better grade than the ones who start at last minute. You need to make everything of the project into smaller pieces. Breaking down the project makes everything easier.

    4. This video matters because a lot of people in high school or just school in general procrastinate a lot. This video will help us with some tips on what to do to not procrastinate. Also the video matters because it is helping us for our future when I am in college or at work. If I have a task that I have to finish the video will give me some tips on how to finish it without procrastination. The video tells you to digest time. This can help a lot because most people who are in school or at work just finish the project fast and don't think about anything. Not taking the time you need leads to bad grades. So this tip was meaningful because people need to take their time on what they do in order to get good grades. Another reason why this video matters is because the video tells you to pick out the smaller things instead of going for the big things. If you pick out the smaller things first it will make everything much easier.

    I can apply these concepts from the video to make my life better by using all the tips from here. I can use the concept of taking your time to do stuff. Also i can use the concept break down the project into little pieces. I can use this concept on anything for example when I have a essay due and it needs to have specific things in it I could break down the parts that I need to have in it. Also if I have a strict deadline I could start working on the essay or project right when they give it to me. This will help me finish it before the deadline and I will most likely get a good grade since I took the time to do it. Another concept I can use is go some place where their wont be any distractions. I can also stay at home but put my phone away from me so I wont get tempted to use it. Lastly I can also stay focused on what I need to get done and I need to finish it on time.

  9. 1.In my own words this video was about how to stop procrastination and how to finish a big project faster and with less stress.
    2.In my own experience, procrastination means to ignore all of your priorities and do them later, or never do them at all because its to much work or it looks to hard to do by myself.I also feel like procrastination means to reward yourself for doing absolutely nothing productive or helpful to your daily life.
    3.This video matters because if you are on person to procrastinate then this video can help you understand that the work isnt that hard and that it can be done in less then an hour, this is significant because the n you can your work faster and get a better grade so that you dont fail the class you have

  10. 1- Video notes

    2- The video is informing you to stop procrastinating because it is giving you ways to stop the procrastination. Only 20 percent of people in the world are chronic procrastinating. In the video the word dopamine means that it will make you happy.

    3- Based upon my understanding this means that you must stop procrastinating because it is telling you that you are lying to yourself. To stay away from procrastinating, you have to stay focused on your work and try not to get distracted. If you lie to yourself, you might not get the important work done like school work. Making the right choices to stay away from distractions will make you get a better grade than a bad grade.

    4- This matters because people needs to stop procrastinating and get the work done. You have to be organized when it comes to something important like homework. This matters to people because a lot of people in the world are procrastinating and it is not good for them. It will affect them on how they would do their work. When you do a project you have a deadline. You do not need to wait until the last day before the project is due to work on it all day. You have to work on that project until you are finished.
    I can apply this to my life to make it better by tricking myself to do work to get it done in time. It is important to keep your things organized. When you finish something you would be happy that you accomplished it. If you want to get a good grade from a project you have to stay on task and finish it before the deadline. You should not procrastinate because it is something you should not want to do. Procrastination will make you get the opposite grade that you want. Do not procrastinate because it will affect you.

    3. Based upon your experience, what does this mean?

    4. Why does this matter and how can you apply the concept to your life to make it better? (2-3 Paragraphs) I can apply this to my life to stop procrastinating and get what I have to get done. this matters because if we keep waiting on what we need to do. If we keep procrastinating how we going to go though school like do projects or homework. or even we if we have a big test and I always procrastinate to study. how i'm i going to keep a job if I cant even study or do projects. its a bad habit I have but I believe I can get over it if i do those three simple steps. everyone procrastinate some point in there life but it is a bad thing we all need to stop procrastinating and get we need to get done. soon i'm going to come in one point in my life and do what I need to do like college,jobs,family is ether I stop procrastinating now so it can be essayer for me or i'm going to learn the hard way. this is how I can apply this to my life to make it better so I wont struggle later on in life.

  12. 2. The video talks about how to stop procrastinating with three steps.The steps are to help you break down your tasks and help you clear any distractions that might hamper with your ability to procrastinate.

    3. Based upon my experience procrastinating isn't something you want to do. Procrastinating is simply lying to yourself and putting off things that you really need to do. Procrastination is a way to show that humans are not the best at regulating themselves.

    4. This matters because procrastinating can overwhelm someone and it may cause stress to someone procrastinating. A good way to stop procrastinating is to think about what need to get done and write down what you're going to be doing. Another way to stop procrastinating is to pick out the itsy bitsy "goblins" instead of going for the whole "dragon, and what this means is to take care of the smaller tasks instead of doing everything at once. A third way to stop procrastinating is to "ignore the siren's song" it essentially means to clear up any distractions that will hamper your ability yo procrastinate. This matters because people can stop procrastinating but some choose otherwise.
    I can apply this to my life because I procrastinate most of the time. I tell myself that I have plenty of time to do a project or report when the truth is I don't have enough time. I can make my life better by not procrastinating. I can also make my life better by doing the smaller tasks that enjoy first instead of doing everything at once. I can also improve my life by finishing projects, and reports before they are due.

  13. 2)This video is for the people who are lazy and like to wait at the end to finish there work at the end.also they are lazy and don't like to the things earlier.

    3)This video means to me that some people are just lazy and don't like doing work on time.people wait until it is too late to turn it in.if they didn't procrastinate they have better grades,jobs and more.

    4)this matters because we would do in so many things much faster and better.if we had to do and assignment and we had a specific time to turn it in we do much better.if we didn't have a deadline we would slack off and do worse.we would much better if we had a deadline because we would be force or have to because we have a deadline.we would have an excuse that we didn't know when we had to turn it in.we wold so much better in turn things on the spot.

    i would apply this in my life in to turn in things when they are suppose to be turn in.I could also apply this by finishing things fast.And I can not get distracted by every thing and pay attention to when I have to turn it in.I could do it at the fist day we are given to.This will help me do things much faster and on time.

  14. 2) A lot of people procrastinate all over the world. They lie to themselves by saying they have plenty of time to finish when really they only have a little bit. This video showed 3 main keys to stop procrastinating.

    3) This means that there's 3 steps to end procrastinating. You need to do the project in small bits, do the parts you'll enjoy first, and get rid of all temptations. Doing this will guarantee that you'll finish a project in a fast and simple way.

    4) This matters because a lot of people struggle to do a project without procrastinating, such as myself. Procrastination prevents you from doing well in a project and results in a dull and boring result. This video showed that you can overcome procrastination in 3 steps. These steps will help and ensure you that you'll have a easy and simple way to doing a project.

    I can apply the concept to make my life better by using these 3 steps to do any project in the future. I just have to do the project step by step and simply getting rid of any distractions that'll get in my way. This video helped me realized that I can overcome procrastination in any project.

  15. 2) What this video means is that you have to get use to those good habits. You cant leave your work at the late minute because then its gonna be very hard for you to finish it if its a lot of work. Also you have to stop procrastinating.

    3) I feel like this means you have to get use to doing your work on time because then you will have a hard time to finish later.Many of us have to learn how to follow these steps. Step one is eat an elephant, what that means is that when its a big project you do its piece by piece then you will be done by the deadline. Step two pick off the goblins, its means start with the task you like the best. finally step three ignore the siren's song, which is the clear all your distractions.

    4) This is important to my life because sometimes i do leave my work till the last minute then later i don't get the best grade on it. So i have to learn how to do the stuff on time so i wont be struggling at the end. So i learned that the three steps could help me a lot. I will be able to do my work on time and better. This video could help me in many ways to get good grades.

    Also you will get bad habits then that would be a big struggle in life later on. So that's why is good to see this video then many people will learn that they have to turn their work in on time. This could get many people on a good track and make them get good grades. so we should follow those three steps. Step one: Eat an Elephant, Step two: pick off the goblins , and Step three: ignore the sirens song .

  17. 2. The video was talking about how and why people procrastinate by giving statistics and studies. Then it talked about 3 steps to keep you from procrastinating. Eat the elephant, pick off the goblins, and don't listen to the siren's song. These steps mean to take your task in small parts, start with your favorite part of the task, and keep away all distractions.
    3. From my experience, this means that you should be able to take your tasks on in a step by step plan instead of doing it all at once and you fail at it. This also means that you must be organized with your work to maintain your plan and not put everything all over the place and then discourage yourself in no doing the work.
    4. This matters because there are a lot, A LOT of people that procrastinate, even the good people/students. And we procrastinate because we think we can finish out tasks in a short amount of time. Of course, you cannot finish your task in the short amount of time you think yo have, and therefore end up failing. Also, most people are unorganized, and that discourages themselves to even finish the task. An organized plan makes it easier to finish your tasks and keep you on track.
    I can apply these concepts to my life because, of course, I procrastinate a lot., I say to myself that I have plenty of time and end up doing it right before the deadline. I feel that if I have an organized plan to finish my tasks or have some sort of encouragement, I will definitely finish. like the video said, I should trick myself into finishing my work. I have found that procrastination leads to failure. Of course, everyone knows that. These steps could really help me into finishing my work in a timely matter and keep myself on track.

  18. 2. In summary, the video is that because many people struggle with procrastination, there are simple ways around it. Start easy, break it down, and avoid any distractions.

    3. Based upon my experience, the concepts in the video really work. When you enjoy something, you tend to do a better job. When you are put on restrictions, you tend to be more strict with yourself, and work harder than those who don't have a deadline.

    4. These concepts matter, because many people truly do struggle with procrastination. The way the video helps is by giving advice with how to handle something that is due in the near future. Things like breaking it down into simpler, better understood chunks. By having little to no distractions allows you to focus on the task at hand. If you follow the simple steps, the project will come with little to no difficulty.
    I can apply these concepts to my life by working to stop procrastinating, or at least procrastinate efficiently. By using the "breaking it down" step, I can work progressively instead of all at once. If I use the "start with the most enjoyable" step I can stop being bored and putting it off for video games. Using the "no distractions" step will allow me to focus on the task. Using these very simple steps will allow me to get the job done with little to no trouble.

  19. 2) The video was about the three steps people had to take in order to halt procrastination in their lives. The three steps included splitting up the task that needed to be done, completing the small assignments before the main task, and ignoring all the things that could help you give an excuse to start your task.

    3) Based upon my experience, this means that many people find small things to use as excuses in order to not start a responsibility they have to complete. In the video, they mentioned that twenty percent of the population identifies themselves as chronic procrastinators. Chronic procrastinators are people who constantly put off the things that they really need to do. This did not surprise me because it is easy for people to slack off than to actually get work done, so naturally, people go with the easier option.

    4) This matters because there are many ways to prevent procrastination from interfering in the lives of people who want to get work done. For example, as said in the video, people can stop waiting until the end of each task they are given to reward themselves. Instead, they can remunerate themselves at the end of smaller segments of the main task that they get finished, one at a time. Also, it is easier to overwhelm yourself with work if you plan to get all your tasks done the next day, so I think it is important to learn how to decline stress levels on people. Unfortunately, I think everyone will always have some moments in their lives where they will find an excuse to procrastinate about a responsibility that was given to them.

    I can apply the concept from the video to make my life better by continuing to have a good habit of completing all my responsibilities as soon as possible. I tend to always have the work given to me done the same day so I will not have anything to do the next. This habit also gives me a chance to ask for help if I need it on my assignment. I do have to work on finishing tasks on the weekend, though, I always end up finishing my homework/chores Sunday night. In conclusion, I know how hard it is to avoid procrastination and I try my best to keep excuses out of my life because I know I could finish the work I need to if I really want to.

  20. 2. The video explained how procrastination is about lying to yourself. Telling yourself "I`ll have plenty if time to finish that paper tomorrow," when you know you are way behind in a recent study.

    3. Based upon my experience, this means that clearly humans are not the best at regulating themselves. When it comes to procrastination, you have to trick yourself into getting the job done. A good way to get around a this is by starting a project off with the taste you like.

    4. This matters because many people are giving up on their work and not trying. Instead of giving up, they should keep on track and put a lot of effort. Procrastinator is gathering information, which is a recipe for success. It is important to think about the relevant time period of our decisions. We need to pay attention and ask ourselves if we should be doing this valuable task at all.

    I can apply the concepts in my life to make it better by planning to clear any distractions that will hand for my ability to procrastinate. Knowing that when my task seems too hard to do, procrastinating often leads me to invent a better way. I should not waste my time on unnecessary things or wasting another second making excuses for the things I have to do. Reminding myself that every little step really does add up to something big is the ultimate motivation to cease procrastinating. A good way to get around this is by starting a project off with the taste I like the best or something that I like, so my brain releases dopamine which makes me happy.

  21. 2) This video basically explain three ways to stop procrastinating. It also explains to its viewers that we should stop doing things that make us procrastinate. Having less things that tempt you , the more likely of success you'll have.

    3) Based on my own understanding this means that we should putting important things to the side. This means that we should start focusing more on important things. We can't keep on postponing important things. We should take away all the things that distract us or draw our attention away from success. It's important because procrastinating can cause us to fail classes. It could give you that grade that makes you ineligible for a game , so you couldn't play. It can make you lose a scholarship , it can make you miss the chance of getting honor roll.

    4) This matters because it's a very important life lesson. It can lead many people in the right direction , and in the path that leads to success. It can also help us stop our procrastinating and finally realize whats important and whats not. We need to stop procrastinating and do the important things. When we finally learn to separate things that are important and things that are not important , than we'll be successful.
    I can apply these concepts to my life by doing the important things right away , and doing all my homework or classwork on time. I have get rid of all the things that distract me in life , and keep all the things that will help me be successful. I can also set goals to never turn in work late , but always on time.

    2)20 percent of the population identifies themselves as liars.Stop lying to yourself about getting things done later.To get things done way faster,you should cut the project in segment so then you wont have to stress about the project that much.

    3)Based on m experience,you should start your assignment the day it was assigned to you.Don't wait at the last minute to do it because you wont be able to focus correctly.The people who wait until the last day it's due,mostly fail.You should stop lying to yourself and trick yourself in to getting things done.Do the easy parts done first and do all the hard ones last.

    4)This matters to me because it tells me a way on how I can focus and finish on my assignments.It gives me an idea on how I can get things done faster.While people get bad grades,I can be better than all does people who don't care about there work.I just have to put the effort and focus on getting better grades.These steps will make your life much easier and later you wont worry about no missing assignments.

    We must appreciate our life and reach to our highest potential with this.People take school for granted and think they can deal with life without learning in school.To be the conquer the whole world,you must go to school.There are people who didn't go to school and wish they could have a second chance to go to school.To be the best you can you learn from others,take the lesson and you use it in the future.

    I can apply this by taking things serious,like my education and not asking my parents for things I want.My parents work hard for money and I take the money away by asking them what I want.I change this act and make my parents proud by focusing on school.It may be a challenge but I can get things done.Sure,my grades don't look good,but I'm learning from my mistakes.I ask the teachers on what's my problem for the class and I fix them.My parents aren't perfect,but they get me trough it.My parents aren't those type of people who just talk.They give unbelievable punishment's and they hurt.

  23. 2. To summarize the video,the video was broken down into three steps. The steps were to trick yourself, start off with easy parts, and clear distractions. These steps help you to not procrastinate and finish any of your work.

    3. Based on my experience, this means to that I could have a strategy to prevent procrastination. To explain the strategy the video broke it down into three easy steps. The video made the steps very easy to understand and do. I feel that the steps could be very helpful because they seen very useful for when it comes to preventing procrastination. I also feel that I could use this strategy for when i complete my school work.

    4. This matters because it could help people to stop themselves from procrastinating. If people use the video then it would make their lives better. Ways it could help people is that it could make it easier for people to complete things. Completing things would be a big help into becoming successful. Not having the skill to do that would give you a big challenge on trying to accomplish things.

    For example, someone has an essay that is due in a week and they want to do a good job. One thing that could ruin the whole essay is procrastination. If the person does the whole essay on the day before the due date, then that person wouldn't do a good job. This is what is called procrastination. If the person used the strategy that the video provided, then he would have done a better job.

    I can apply this to the concept of my by preventing myself from procrastinating when it comes to school work. If I don't procrastinate, I could turn in school work on time. Not only that but I can do my best on those assignments. It will also help my on not stressing over assignments that are due. I believe that this would make my life a lot better.

  24. 1.To summarize the video, it talks about how to improve yourself as a procrastinator. Such as lying to yourself, put the project into smaller tasks, starting the project off with something you like, and ignore your distractions.

    2.Based on my experience of being a procrastinator, the video is stating that I have to lie to myself into doing the work like telling myself that I will get the biggest grade up or a reward from my parents. It also says to break up the project into pieces so I know what I have to do. Third it tells me to ignore anything that will distract me while I am working on the project.

    3.This matters because many people put their work aside and tell themselves they will do it later. Once that time comes they rush it and don't make a good productive work. This occurs because we procrastinators, lie to ourselves when we say that it can be done later until we see that we dot have as much time and finish it last minute. I am also a procrastinator and an example of not doing something and saying I will do it later is my homework, projects, cleaning, and sometimes laundry.
        I can apply this concept to my life by tricking my self into doing the work and finish it on time. Secondly, put the work into little pieces so I can clearly see what I am working to. Also the video stated to ignore stuff that will distract me from completing my work such as, TV, phone, Computer, etc.. Knowing this I can finish my work on time consciously knowing what I have to stop thinking about and pay attention to.

  25. 2. This video is about how you have to get everything done on time. When you leave everything to do on a certain time you'll probably wont get everything done or uncompleted. This video shows you how you can improve with your work or homework that you need to turn in.
    3. Based on my experience this means that you have to manage your time. You need to turn in your work on time and complete. If you start all late you'll probably wont try your best and will do a poor job in it.
    4. This matters because you need to try your best in your work or you'll do poor. It is important because taking your time to do your homework will help you practice what your learning in school. It can help you study for test and quizzes.  Handing homework in on time is important because homework is given for a reason and what ever the reasons, guidelines and respect for the person who gave the homework should be shown. Using out time wisely and understanding deadlines of time is important in life and the younger we learn this the better we will become and the more organized  we will be.
        We should also understand that to be given a task to perform by a certain time and not to do it can create a wide range of issues for all people involved. I can apply this to my life because I sometimes don't turn in my work on time. I know the difference on  turning it on time and late. I can make it better by taking my time and turning in my work in time. I don't like todo things in a rush.
