Ask HN: How to stop procrastination?

4 pointsby botwover 9 years ago
I am now getting used to procrastination everyday. I said to myself I need to do this tomorrow morning but then I just delayed to afternoon, the day after tomorrow, and so on. I hate myself unable to take action now.

Probably a bit meta &#x2F; ironic! It could be worth avoiding HN for a while. There are anti-procrastination settings on your user page.<p>This is quite a common topic here. Some discussions:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10156240" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10156240</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10151481" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10151481</a><p>To summarise. Don&#x27;t worry. It&#x27;s normal. Everyone does it. I&#x27;m doing it right now. :)<p>Everyone has their own way of getting things done. I like writing to-do lists. I draw a box next to the item that I can tick when I&#x27;ve done it. It&#x27;s more positive than crossing things off.
