This article provides steps on how people can beat their 'bad' procrastination habit. Step 1 tells people to take a step back and look at all you gotta do. Step 2 tells people to make a list of those things. Step 3 tells people to stay off of social internet websites such as Facebook or Twitter. Step 4 tells people to accomplish to more difficult tasks first to avoid being overwhelmed. Step 5 tells people to pre-plan, planning things out always makes them less overwhelming ( oh! ^ ). Finally, Step 6 tells people to break it down, a big task is made of many little ones, just do the little tasks and BAM! big task done.
This article was very good at providing tips to procrastinators. However, I question if this was necessary. The only reason things have deadlines is because society has driven people to work harder and harder. Stressing about projects leads to an unhappy time. The more time you spend stressed and unhappy, the less you enjoy things (eg. life). I think society just needs to chill with the urgency. "I mean YOLO, am I right?" Seeing as though this is the opinion part of the article, I'll say this, I don't think there should be this much pressure on so many people that this article needs to be created. In a perfect world (according to me) there shouldn't be a reason for anyone to post this article.

The Five (LETHAL) MISTAKES For New Film Makers
This-- article gives advice for those people who have recently started in the film making business. It lists five mistakes that new film makers may make. 1.Too much computer work, it gives the feeling that you're not actually making things. 2. Popular media, it says do what you want to do, not what's popular. 3. Needs more narrative, sure abstract can be cool, but you need to learn how to actually tell a story. 4. Fear, it tells you not to be afraid of failure and to not let that fear prevent you from actually creating. 5. Humility, just never think that you're perfect.
That's what the article (and the pretty much verbatim video) was all about, but here is what I thought of it...
I thought that the article was simple, but could be very effective for someone who literally knew absolutely nothing about creating films. A lot of this stuff I pretty much knew. However, one part I did disagree with the the not going with what is popular at the time. Sure, it may be more fun to create what you like, but you are just one person and the world is made of billions. What you like might not appeal to the masses. It might just be best for the time being to assimilate into popular culture. Although, it still is possible to get fans who support you for being you.
