nice way to stop procrasting and getting to work. I've tried and got results through START Method- 1. Select it 2.Time box it 3.Act on it 4.Review it 5.Treat yourself
here are my two principles that i always keep in mind to stop procrastination:
--> Start with the hardest part first. You'll attack it while you're energetic and enthusiastic. Encourage yourself by knowing that all the rest of the job will be easier.
--> Avoid saying yes. Don't start taking on too many tasks at once. Be sure you really have the time. Don't work on a project if you're tired, in a distracting location or not thinking ahead.
How about: stop browsing to HN when you actually wanted to do some real work, while telling yourself you're doing it for research and keeping your mind fresh and stimulated.
