Defeating Procrastination


Procrastination, is not a problem with time management; it is an emotion management problem.

To resolve it, we can use:

  1. Rewards
  2. Temptation removal
  3. Motivation Harvesting

 Here're the unpleasant emotions:

  • Fear
  • Boredom

 

Motivation Harvesting (setup yourself to impress people):

  • Work Accountability Group
  • Project laptop to the wall in library
  • To wake up at 8am, set a meeting with at XXX with friends at 9am
  • Send the extended abstract before write the paper
  • Sit all the way in front of the classroom
