Brain Freeze: The Science of Procrastination (And How to Fight Back)
- ccallebs 13y agoThis is one of the better articles I've read regarding procrastination. It echoes a point that really hit home for me when reading recently[1] -- you don't have to FEEL like doing something to actually do it. This is something I was guilty of. I would wait until I was in the "zone" before starting work on a personal project or tackling a big task at work. Now, I can recognize when I'm doing that and subsequently avoid it. [1] The Antidote - Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking (I recommend this book heartily)
- Betelgeuse90 13y agoRight with ya brother. Wonderful article, really helped me see my own behavior in a different light. Hopefully good changes will ensue.

- andreafrancis 13y agoThanks! (I'm representing the author of the piece) - there's most certainly a lot more depth to how the brain tackles all this chemical activity, but we thought a simplified explanation would be the most useful for people to try and solve the problem.
