We recently launched a Jedi Techniques Marathon to help you master them: http://bit.ly/2WNBh5J
I made this video a while ago at the request of MIF Publishing for their course: https://www.mann-ivanov-ferber.ru/cou...
00:00 - About Max and his books
00:48 - Procrastination in learning
01:58 - Procrastination is useful... like pain
02:52 - Tim Urban's Thinking Model
05:22 - The Four Main Causes of Procrastination
06:06 - Fatigue
10:14 - The Mindset Effect
12:02 - Perfectionism
13:15 - False Desires
16:37 - Is procrastination really such a good thing?
It just so happens that, although I call myself a procrastinologist, none of my books explicitly include a chapter dedicated to procrastination... Of course, if you carefully address issues at the levels of personal effectiveness, start following Jedi techniques, and conserve your mental fuel, many reasons to procrastinate will disappear. But not all. Plus, people who haven't yet begun studying Jedi techniques often ask: why do I procrastinate?
In this video, I explored some (but not all) of the roots of procrastination.

Hello everyone!
My name is Maxim Dorofeev. I studied physics at Moscow State University and later worked in management positions at a number of IT companies of varying renown. Even then, I began to suspect that the key to the successful work of a team as a whole and each of its members in particular lies somewhere deep within our heads. For the past 15 years, I've been studying psychology, medicine, philosophy, and management from various angles. I've pored over a ton of literature (of varying degrees of usefulness) on self-development, personal growth, motivation, and everything in between, all in search of an answer to the question: "What can make us more successful and happier?"
To date, I've published my main findings in two books:
Jedi Techniques: https://links.mnogosdelal.ru/book
The Jedi Path: https://links.mnogosdelal.ru/JediWay
And I continue to search for and share all sorts of interesting things about how we're structured.
