Hire your own mobster. Have you tried body doubling? You work on your task, and the other person is just watching you (or doing the task with you). Maybe Bob is squeezing your abdomen, but there's also Mike. Mike is real, and for some

I don't think this would work on me, but I know that it works for some poeple, so you're not crazy ;-). I'm going to give it a shot to check what effect it might have on me. I just need to find a task that my current producti

Procrastination may happen for dozens of reasons, emotions are are just part of it. Many people are excited about their projects and goals, yet they procrastinate on them (I'm one of those people).

Words like "intend" and "soon" are your enemies. How about you do it right now? At least set a deadline in your calendar to do it. However, chances are it won't have the desired effect. One great method of dealing w

Some of them were more productive when they worked in an office. I'm 3-4x more productive when I work beside someone. In discussions about WFH/RTO, people are usually split into two groups: the ones who work well unsupervised and

Hopefully constructive criticism: there's not enough information on that page for it to be worth reading. It's a very brief rehash of articles that can be found everywhere, with no additional valuable content. I expect more from a

As someone who gives up on ideas after a week of work ( not after 30 minutes ), I must say the New-Shiny-Idea-Monster is pretty kind for you ;-) Maybe try to write down each of your ideas, give it a +1 vote each you think about it. After a

I was in similar situation. From my experience a lot of people for whom timers, to-do lists, blockers etc. don't work react positively to body doubling (i.e. doing a task in presence of another person). Have you tried it? It's the

If any method depends on me initiating some action, it won't work for me. My brain will not only say "No", but it'll also often just shut up, not give any feedback and proceed to procrastinate. For me, procrastination ha

Putting myself into a situation where I have no choice would mean being constantly in grave danger (financial, social, or relationship). If I fail once, it may have a catastrophic impact on my life. The worst part is that I may fail due to

It's only fair to compare exceptional individual to an exceptional breed. According to Google Husky can run 240km in a day. Exceptional Husky might do much better. Average Husky will easily outrun most human runners. Still, this is an

On a steppe? I think so, I don't see why not. An animal running at or close to top speed might only speed up its exhaustion - it's much easier to run 1km at a steady pace than to do 10x100m intervals. Try to play with your dog for

Is gazelle able to jog for 18 hours in a hot day? Or even for 2 hours? Keep in mind that the predator chooses the prey. Humans didn't had to chase gazelles, they may choose something bigger and slower.

On short distances all dogs outpace humans. After an hour of running most dogs will just quit. On several occasions I had very hard time convincing various dogs to get off the ground after an 8-10km run.

While a lot of people with ADHD tend to procrastinate, the issue is not limited to them and affects other groups of people as well. Even people that seem highly organized and productive tend procrastinate in some aspects of their lives. As

For procrastination - body doubling. It's very effective, easy to test, and works immediately. After an hour, you will know whether it works for you or not. You don't need to read a book or train for it; you don't get better

There are many reasons why it's not that simple. My kid may be old enough to make the decision on which phone to buy, but not old enough to have unrestricted access to it. I may be divorced, and the device might have been given to them
