My original assumption based on the title was that the author was going to use a randomness machine to assign tasks to himself. Because usually procrastination isn't about not wanting to do something, but just getting over that initial hurdle.
- arnejenssen 6y agoThat is a good point. I realise the title is misleading.

- robotbikes 6y agoI have done that at times, when nothing is particularly compelling but I have a lot of potential things I could work on. I would come up with a list of 20 things and include possibly some fun activities that aren't necessarily productive. Assign a number to each and roll a 20 sided die. It usually worked pretty well, especially if a focused on actions that I could actually do or next actions in GTD terminology. Maybe not the best productivity hack but a good way to break an impasse of being overwhelmed by too many things to do.
