6 days agoI either go bug someone to do work together. Making a full plan of just doing work and with someone else, it forces me to actually do the work and since the plan was made, can’t get out of it. Or… I literally go somewhere else and put on a pomodoro timer to just start the process. Could be initially starting 5 minutes (I usually do 10). It helps you just start the work so you already are doing something. If you can’t keep going, break time, but that’s on a timer too. You kinda have to force yourself to follow the law of the timer.

The app, ‘Exocus’ is a nice visual pomodoro timer and it literally does not give you an option to pause. If you stop, you lose all your progress. Might be useful. The app ‘Cat on Chair’, does something similar, though you have a cat that gives gifts. Also has no pause button and if you stop, it gives you trash.

16 days agoI put something on my daily checklist that I can check off very easily OR that I have already done so I check it off right away. The. I might think of something I actually want to do, add it to the list, check it off and once I start I want to check more things off so I end up doing more.

The Question is, how to break the cycle of procrastination? My first "to do" here is: preparing coffee, I did nearly never failed on that one. Then I do start with a finished task. 👊

16 days agoIt is very hard and Im in the middle of it. But what helps me is to start with the most smallest step you can think of. That one little step most of the time leads to another little step, etc
