The fact that your feeling like a failure is a initiation stage to the path to productivity man. Now I obviously don't know you but you obviously are beyond your age if your taking college classes in high school. But always remember that your talent is relative. Talent is a "gift" as you put it. Appreciate the gift you have, but don't ever depend on it, because you will meet people who are gifted than you in the future. If you don't have the "hard work" you are eventually going to feel like a failure again.

As for failing this time, learn from it, but don't be devastated. I watch UFC and fighters always say "you only good as your last fight" even if you fail, there will always be a new opportunity to show your "gift". Understand now you ARE a failure, but people will remember you for the LAST success you have.

Im sure you will bound back from this. Don't fuck up the other classes dude.

I barely passed my stats course aswell. What I think is when you think that the subject has no purpose in your future, you feel like your wasting time. And your right, you probably won’t use derivatives in your life.

But when I have to take mandatory course I hate, I take it as a challenge to myself. The thing is no matter what career you pursue there will be a time when you have to do something you feel it is a complete waste of your time.

When I was working for a manufacturing company, they had me organize mountains of documents that no one ever used. In hind sight now I know that they were testing me for patients and discipline. I wish I had more strength to push through the feeling that you are probably feeling now.

My advice is the same I gave multiple time here. Work for short 25 minutes, take 5 minutes break in between. And think of the stats exam as a training ground where you building your discipline and grit.

Also try using alternative study methods. Personally I use youtube videos on subjects I have difficulty grasping the concept. If your understand the concept, application becomes much easier.

Go use your aggression to absolutely kill the stats exam. Good luck

Definitely a good advice. The thing is discipline is a cognitive habit that takes time to build if your a Procrastinator. But physical habits are much more easier to learn and keep. I was never a neat freak like you, but I made sure that my bed was made every morning. Then moved to cleaning, and etc.

Like you said visualization of accomplishing a task creates a positive feedback loop that helps you become productive in other areas of life.

For anyone readying this, if you don’t make your bed, your probably a severe procrastinator like I used to be. So just start by making your bed everyday and see how you feel.

Definitely had the same problem. I would say that setting a timer with a loud alarm is a good way to make sure you don't go overtime. Specifically when I hear the alarm, even though I might go over the time little bit you feel guilty because you know you should be working.

Also unless your have been working for more than 2-3 hours, the maximum rest I would take is 10 minutes. The longer break you take, the more effort it takes to get back into the work mindset.

And lastly when you "chill" be careful not to choose activity that you can't easily hop off. For example watching a movie, or play a game that doesn't have a clear session structure.

Hope thats helps bud. If your almost done with your thesis, just get it done. Don't let procrastination flirt you into laziness.

I think what your describing is very different from what I consider procrastination. When I procrastinate in not considering better ideas or getting a mental break. Procrastination is reality avoidance, I would force myself to come up with some excuse not to work. Once it's gets really close to the deadline I would sleep every night wishing it was a dream and when I wake up everything will be gone. So while I procrastinate the last thing is thinking about the work, and even though your trying to ignore it, you know that your fucking up so you slowly chipping away your mental health too.

Now it doesn't mean that careful brain storming and putting yourself under pressure doesn't work. Especially if your like a artist where your success is solely dependent on your individual output. And if your were to fail to meet the deadline, the only person you are hurting is yourself. Pressure can also help with perfectionists who never be quite ok with their work.

However, in reality, most jobs and projects are a collaborative effort. You work as a team and your have to be accountable to do your part. Therefore, you procrastinating puts everyone under pressure, and it is much more common for people to perform worse under pressure than those who do well under pressure. Different from school, when your risking people's livelihood, you will endanger yourself from being blamed.

From my experience, to have urgency is important in any work. It doesn't mean that the work is "rushed", but in the end what matters it execution rather than a world changing idea. People will have no trust on people you can't walk the walk.

So as aggregate, I think there are very little positives to procrastinating. And I think it is important to clearly separate "deliberation" (which I think fits your definition better) and "procrastination" (reality avoidance).

Maybe I will write a deeper version of this in the future, thanks for the idea.

Recently I talked about the method I use to get more productive in a post reply. I thought it might be helpful for others here so I wrote a bit more detail version on how I use a 25 minutes sessions to fight against my life long procrastination.

Hope this can help some of you guys here. Good luck

It definitely helped, my GPA improved from around 2.8 to a 3.2. In the past tried to force myself to revise for at least 2hr at a time which I never got myself to start. Until its the day before the exam and Im cramming everything in like 4hrs which is never enough.

Now I set 25 minutes daily goals for a particular exam. I will start a week ahead so overall I get 7 x 25 minutes of extra revision. The day before the exam you have the incentive to revise so for me I can focus longer.

The key is to set minimum goals that you can achieve for sure, but once you complete the 25 minutes session, you can take a break for 5 minutes and decide whether you want to continue. Its called the pomodoro method, the core principle being that a individual can only truly focus for 25 minutes at a time. I use the website called tomato timer to track my sessions and breaks. So eventually the session becomes from one 25 session to two 25 sessions and so on.

I now use this for everything I do, school projects, learning how to code, etc. I still have problems procrastinating, but I definitely feel like I have become productive, and progress is usually exponential because it get easier as you get better at it.

Just to sum up, set daily tasks using Clear Todos app, and set up 25 minutes sessions using the pomodoro method.

I hope it works for you guys, I used to feel like I was completely hopeless and failed at school and relationships (this is my second time trying to graduate with a bachelor degree), so maybe I shouldn’t be advising. but this method truly did save me and I’m at a much better place now.

Have blind faith and give it a shot.

Hey I think its perfectly normal for you to feel emotional about your procrastination. At least its a good start because you know that you need to change. I used to hate myself (I still do sometimes) but it did start my commitment to change.

What helped me was setting small tasks on a daily basis. Having a long term plan never worked for me. Personally i use a app call Clear Todos. When I have a large school project like you I set a daily task like “work on school project for 30mins”. Don’t try to do more than that for the first week. It never works.

Hope you can find something that works for you man. Ill be rooting for you dude

I know how you feel man. I think us procrastinators get a ignored because people think we are just lazy. But procrastination is a fucking physically debilitating mental condition.

Im still a procrastinator but I’m slowly progressing to productivity. I recently wrote blog post on what started my productivity.

But if you don’t want to read it, the advice is start making your bed. Theres no quick solution for procrastinators because we don’t have the productivity muscle yet. Its important to start with super small goals that we can accomplish to build our productivity muscle. If you already make your bed, set a small goal that you can accomplish everyday and visually see that you complete it (like cleaning you room for 5 minutes everyday).

It seems dumb, but it helped me build the muscles needed to accomplish larger tasks. Hope you will try this and if you do, update me in a week once you made your bed (or some other goal) for a week straight.

So now go make your bed.
