This is an anti-procrastination technique that I use (that I got from somewhere but forget where).
When I notice I am procrastinating on an important task I visualize my present self explaining to my future self all the consequences of my current inaction, and apologizing to future self for all he has to deal with as a consequence.
This also forces my to visualize the concrete consequences of my present actions and makes it much easier to understand the negative impact I’ll have on myself.
I also visualize myself doing this with other people when they are the most impacted. It’s a great technique.
