Maybe the problem is not where we search for it. There is a theory that willpower is a limited resource [1]. If this theory is true, it means productivity hacks cannot work, because the problem is not in our weekends, it is in our weekdays: in our work that demands all of our willpower, in our relationships, social interactions, or in our inability to relax. I read an article some time ago that I cannot find. It stated that extreme procrastination is the result of a form of drug abuse: we need our daily dose of fb, youtube, etc to keep us functioning, but that takes all the time, and when we realize we wasted another day, it makes us sad, and the cycle begins anew. It is also no secret that these sites are designed to be addictive. This article might help you too (well, the original, but I couldn't link that because, most likely, the author of the original essay procrastinated the renewal of the web page for too long, and it cannot be reached): https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/sep/07/change-your-life-procrastination-burkeman https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/sep/07/change-...
