Funny coincidence just happened. I was procrastinating reading this article and my partner noticed.
She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was procrastinating. She asked me, "If I'd like to do something else then?" Hinting at some assignment. Naturally, like the article mentions, I felt the urge to work on the problem I was procrastinating on.
So the solution we stumbled on, isn't to have your partner try to hold you accountable, but for them to assign you different tasks if they notice you procrastinating.
- taneq 5y agoHmm, I’ve noticed that if I’m procrastinating and can’t get started at work, as soon as home time approaches the block will resolve itself and I’ll be able to start (almost instantly resenting the fact that I’m required to stop.) This sounds like a similar thing (deadlock in scheduler resolved by addition of new task, in this case going home.)
