[0:00]If you have big dreams but struggle with chronic procrastination, this video is the universe trying to save you. Hey, I'm Mia, and the tips I'm about to share genuinely changed my life. They got me into Stanford, helped me gain 2.8 million followers and gave me the confidence and discipline to chase my dreams. Here's how to stop procrastinating in 3 simple steps. The 5-second rule. When you want to do something but can't get yourself to take the first step, count down from five. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then start immediately. Don't give yourself time to overthink or make excuses. Eventually your brain will get used to taking immediate action. The two-minute trick. If a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. Replying to emails, taking out the trash, making your bed. If left undone, these small tasks will take up storage in your brain and affect your ability to focus on other things. Create positive feedback loops. Setting goals like studying 12 hours every day or working out nine times a week are a recipe for failure because they're too demanding. Instead, break big goals into small easy ones. Rather than saying, I want to learn a new language, say, I'm going to memorize 10 new words each day. And every time you complete a task, reward yourself. This conditions your brain to crave productivity. Like and follow for more tips to help you build your dream life.
