Putting off Procrastination – Stefan Molyneux

My latest discovery is the host of the Freedomain Radio, I am venturing in to the world of (psycho) philosophers lately. He was loved and demonized for his liberal views. He was invited to speak in Amsterdam this April. No party was killed by a little controversy.

In this video, you will learn how to stop Procrastination. The more we connect online, the more productive we are. Our attention span decreases to the size of a fly when we launch new ideas and start new businesses. It is more difficult to finish your tasks now that there is so much going on.

I think everyone should have 30 minutes to watch a guy tell a great story, but I will give you a short abstract as well.

There is aspoiler alert. As children, we are treaded as slaves so we suffer from Procrastination. Children aren’t asked for feedback or consulted about their opinion. Parents tell their children what to do at home and at school. When we grow up, we don’t really shake off this trauma. Today’s to-do can feel like an order that we want to resist. Procrastination is a scar tissue. We need to stop ordering ourselves to do things we don’t want to do. We need to focus on why we want to do the things we need to do and stop externalizing our have-tos.

Now it’s time to work everybody!
