Maybe Stop Procrastination
I’ve stolen this checklist instead of working. (thx noatime)
- What task are you currently procrastinating on?
- Provide a brief description of the task.
- Why are you avoiding doing this task?
- What are the benefits of completing this task?
- Tasks can be broken down into subtasks. Name an easy subtask you can complete for this task.
- How long will it take you to complete this subtask (in minutes)?
- Name a small reward for completing the subtask.
I think the only important aspect is:
What task is so small that even you can do it in your current state?
Focus on what is in control.
So I went through this list and ended up doing a small subtask and then did not manage to stop working on the task. Great success. But something really rubs me the wrong way doing it this way.
