How to control procrastination

You control procrastination when you reach at least 20% of your habit. Or, at least, that’s my threshold.

Sometimes, you will finish your habit. Other times, you will do less. But aim for that 20% at least.

  • Use the 5-second rule when you realize you have been procrastinating for too much.
  • Set a minimum threshold. Once you start, you will complete the habit without realizing it.
  • Remove any friction that separates your body/mind from the habit. If you want to build a habit of running, put your shoes where you can see and wear them fast, for example.
