First, cost/benefit analysis to see if it's worth the effort (mental, financial, time).
If so, I commit to the project publicly and preferably make other people dependent on its success, because:
Fear of failing others > fear of my own failure.
I like lighting fires under my ass. Being chill and "whatever, it's a learning curve" doesn't help me get things done.
- alpn 10y ago> I like lighting fires under my ass. This is probably the best advice OP could get. By doing so, you're basically forcing your fearful/lazy self into action.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoI'm not lazy in any sense. All I do is work. I'm afraid to show my work.
- alpn 10y agoI didn't mean to say you're lazy. I just think that the same advice holds for general procrastination, which is itself, often related to fear of failure, but could be mistakenly interpreted as laziness.
