Beating Procrastination

Beating Procrastination

Willpower doesn't work. Systems do.

Step out of your comfort zone. Freedom is your enemy.

If you want to get things done, you need rules.

  • Self-imposed deadlines create urgency
  • Accountability systems create responsibility
  • Working in intervals improves focus
  • Exercise and a healthy diet gives you energy
  • Eliminating distractions takes away temptations

If you know why you're doing something, even the most annoying tasks become bearable.

Take a step back, think about why you do what you do, and then rely on a system that supports it.

P.S. - I'm looking for accountability partners. DM if interested
