The Welcome back again. Thanks for staying with us. We are still here with Jim Quick,

founder of Quick Learning. So in the few minutes we have left, let's talk about procrastination.

Yes.

It is so common among all of us that people tend not to do things until someone else is mad at them.

And you often get mad at yourself is I wanted to start the diet, I wanted to start

exercises, and I wanted to go to taxes done on time.

I want to go to sleep earlier. I wanted to do all these things. Yeah, why do we sabotage? Why do we put things off? Why do we not do the things that would be good for us and so I'll give a couple

of really quick tips for everyone listening when you think about something maybe

you've been putting off a number of ways to be able overcome it I think one of

the first places to the start,

you're so good at procrastinating, maybe procrastinating, you know, put off

this thing called putting things off. But all seriousness, there's something

something called Zicarnic effect where the

psychologist in Europe when she was at a cafe noticed that the weight staff

would remember all the orders have you ever had a waiter or waitress like this?

Until they were delivered, and once they were delivered, they would forget it.

And her last name was Zicarnic. They called it Zicarnic, in fact, basically the brain doesn't

like open loops. It tends to focus on something until it's closed and so the idea with

procrastination is to start somewhere but anywhere because the idea of just creating

momentum you start somewhere your brain's more likely to be able

close that loop.

The second thing I would say is to begin, we talked about this, start with why.
