From WaitButWhy Articles, TED talks and a quick search on HN, I've seen many reasons why people procrastinate, but same as depression you can see everything describing the issue but doesnt necesarely gives you the will power to do it.<p>So I wanna know who has stopped sucessfully stopped procrastinating, because I would like to hear from you.<p>Here are some of the things to describe my procrastinating situation:<p>* I tend to leave things to the last minute. Most of the time it usually goes very well, unless I've heavely understimated the task which happens 1/10 times. Most of the things I need to do are important but not urgent, so they require to be proactive<p>* I get bored or distracted easily, I don't belive in ADHD, but according to the definition I definetly have it. So thats why I sometimes prefer tinker with a RPi on a project that has my interest instead of the ticket I know I can finish by just focusing 15min.<p>* I gravitate to being a night owl, but I like to be an easly bird. In a period of my life I was getting up at 5:45 and studying and excersicing. Getting up early made it that I can do tasks without distraction before anybody got up. Issue is my tendency to leave things till the last minute fucks up with sleep schedule making me a night owl for a couple of days and then fucking me up if I wanna go back to wake up early.<p>* As typical in procrastinators, I tend to ignore big tasks because they seem difficult or tedious, but when you start doing them most of the time I get into the flow in about 15mins into the task making me wonder why did I took so long to start the task.<p>* Most crucially, I fundamentally thing theres always "more time", which objectively and rationally I know this is not the case, but the way I manage myself during the day is: "Nah' I can do this later". When in reality its up to my most convinience to do that task right then and there.<p>* Also, you may relate to this, I have 2000 videos on my youtube watch later playlist and lost count on my "To read" bookmark on Chrome.<p>I wanna try new things this year, write goals quaterly and maybe look for a mantra, some word of escenario I can pop into my head to make me do what I need to do in that moment.<p>Thanks in advanced.
