This is a real life example.
You are texting your friend and you forget that one handsome persons name. What you do is you promise your friend that you will tell that person’s name when it comes to you.
More often than not the name pops in your head after some time.
Who is doing this work?
Because its not you as you didn’t know the person’s name when you were talking to your friend.
This is your brain and its just doing its job.
Your brain is full time problem solving machine.
You gave it a problem(What’s that boys name) and it gave the solution(Deepak).
Now your brain just like any other thing it has some limitations and let me give you a feel of this limitation.
And by knowing its limitations you can remove procrastination once and for all.
Consider this problem- “Education system is broken”.
The problem is so huge that your mind runs away from trying it solve it because its painful and huge, you don't know where to start or where to end.
See the only reason your brain solves the problem is because it wants to get rid of the pain.
Ever seen a maths problem which was soo big that , your mind automatically switches off and thinks about other things.
What we really do is hide from the pain of solving these huge problems(procrastinate) and find the escape route which gives pleasure something like Insta story, whatsapp, youtube.
Remember your brain loves pleasure hates pain, why do you think people are addicted to drugs.
Drugs are 1.5X more pleasurable than sex.
Once you take drugs, your mind will gives all the excuses in the world to get it.
Instagram works the same, gives you pleasure(likes) and since it does give pleasure you are hooked on it.
And the excuse you give is its not that bad .(Ever hear a smoker give the same excuse 🤔)
Its not just drug addicts even if you take drugs you will get addicted to it because its that powerful other wise ,nobody is mad to spend so much on those things.
How to not procrastinate :Chunk it.
See you brain loves to solve problems because it wants to escape from the pain.
But it hates huge problem and escapes from it.
You need to help by breaking the huge problem into tiny problems which doesn’t require more than a google search to do it.(don’t worry I am an awesome tool which will let you do it.)
For example
Why don’t I have a girlfriend?
Its due to two reasons.
1. Looks
Problem-I am really thin.(Ever seen a light kamba?)
Solution-Get a gym member ship from “Power fitness” near my house. Where trainer will teach me how to gain weight and all. And it cost just 500 ruppes every month
2.Marks
Problem -My marks were fucked up big time.
Solution- See just like how we don’t really care about Virat Kohil’s wife or the nos of tattoos he has or whether he plays football or not all we see and what is really important is his score in tests, t20 and all.
Guess what same things applies to a student all people care or what is important is his score in tests, competitive exam and all.(See the similarity lol.). I learnt this the hard way.
And yes I am breaking down the Jee exam into tiny 5 mins problems and guess what I could see a huge decrease in my procrastination.
See what humans are really trying to do is solve problems, and rate of which they solve the problem determines their growth or how fast they become successful.
By breaking down(chunking) big problems into small problems and then easily solving it , what you will accomplish in years you will accomplish it in days if you do this on a daily basis.
Really understand the below paragraph.
Every human is trying to get to reach the destination(sky), but every one has weights(problems) attached to them. Some are really above us like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg they are the people who have let go of the problems(weights) one by one. They have taken the pain to solve problems, forget the small problems which we have like "getting gf" and all. Do you have any idea what it takes to build a fucking entire operating system "Windows" or an e-commerce store with millions of components "Amazon".
When you completely understand this metaphor it becomes really easy and please stop punishing your brain for something it doesn't even deserves.
Best thing is all of us share 99.99% of the brain DNA which means we all have the same powerful machine called brain. But how well are you utilizing it.
Brain dna improvement pill.
But there is a slight hiccup you will face, see your brain sees the problem as a pain and you honestly don’t feel like tool when there are other apps which give you pleasure instantly(instagram😏)
But remember who lifts you up(solving problem) and who puts you down(insta).
Okay now I will give you the tool which will help you to solve this issue.
See I got this Idea from a website called roam research
Which basically does breaking up of problems but in a way more convenient way.
The surprising part is even Google and Facebook both use that software.
See for your self if you want.
The only problem was that it cost $15 per month to use it which is approx 1050 ruppees.
After spending more than 6 hours on the internet I finally found a tool and guess what its even better cause it has its own mobile app(roam research is laptop),
And it has the ability to break it down unlimited bullet lists.
Its called dynalist. You can search on play store and download it now.
Let me help you in getting started on it right now.
Forget everything and just create a new document on app.
Screen shot.
and tab only these things you really need to get started in this
(the best thing ever)
The secret sauce I us`e is go to setting and click on show
What happens us the crossed problems automatically dissappears. But you can see them when you uncheck the settings.
Let's take an example I had given above and apply it.
And please stop punishing yourself when its not even your fault.
All these tricks are hidden used by major corporations like Facebook and Google.
They don’t want you to know these things.
But my job is to provide such top secrets to you in a way any human can understand to make his life easier.
If you find this blog useful, send this to your best friend and help them become a more happier and fullfilled person.
Cheers to your success.🍻
