NOTES 1. Spend less time prioritizing and more time doing 2. Minimize interruptions 3. Group interruptions by how long you can afford to NOT do them and then do them in that amount of time
@mnrafa9508
Summary of video: 1. Instead of prioritizing each task individually (which can waste a lot of time if in large volume), just make priority buckets to group the tasks. Dont look for a perfect order. Executing tasks chronologically or randomly can be a better alternative sometimes. 2. Instead of avoiding interruptions, just group them together. E.g. work on a task for a full hour and then spend 15 minutes to deal with interruptions. Then go back to work for another full hour. Repeat the process.

Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you.

On a fairly relevant note, tip for procrastinators on being productive: Don't focus on trying to be continguously productive, instead focus on maintaining the state of productivity which can be much easier. Simply put, if you're doing one thing and start to get distracted or feeling inattentive, overly bored, simply just straightaway switch to some other form of productivity. Starting to get distracted while studying your school textbooks? Just close the book, put it to the side and start cleaning. Getting tired of cleaning? Alright put your cleaning stuff away and go out for a jog or do a quick workout. Done with your workout? Alright perfect point to spend a little time on that language you've been learning. Done with the language, read a non-fiction book. Done with the book? Do some cooking. Done cooking and eating? Get back to studying. Basically there is a huge difference when you focus on being continuous in your efforts than trying to be both continous and contiguous (people with procrastinating habits tend to be bad with being organised, so trying to organise and outline productivity to a fixed standard can make it about 10x harder to maintain) meaning it is much easier and more plausible. And basically it's much easier to form as a habit because it doesn't require completely changing an unrestricted lifestyle to following a strict schedule, but simply developing the natural drive of spontaneity that procrastinators tend to have. Also keep your phone and other none productive distractions far away from you while practicing this.

As a software engineer, I find this parallel between computers and humans absolutely amazing and relatable. This is the first audio that's compelling enough for me to listen!

Step 1: Stop watching YouTube videos
@MaddPprincess
I feel like i watch all these videos but never actually do them
@KidEatingClown
It feels a bit ironic to be watching this video.

"Sometimes, giving up on doing things in the perfect order may be the key to getting them done." I feel attacked
@yukikomatsu2447
Summary: 1. Don't try to prioritize all things, start with the task at the top of your list, or even executing them in random order might be better. 2. Reduce interruption, it takes some time to load the context and be in the "flow state". 3. Don't check your email box or social media so often.
@ayushshastry8747
Ironic how if I hadn't procrastinated and watched this video, I would have never learnt how to stop procrastinating.
@ContinualImprovement
I don’t manage my time, my time manages me.
@mayu277
so basically if you want to get things done, just do it and stop checking your phone every 5 seconds.

What I learned from this video: the tech programers who made these breakthroughs are in fact our modern day philosophers. Absolutely genius!

I definitely spend too much time scheduling what I need to do before actually doing them. And wow, I didn't realize computers had so much behind them, determining what tasks to do and what not! Thanks for the incredible insight, TED-Ed.
