One cost of living in the moment is it creates a tyranny of the moment. “I must do this now.” As the person who multi tasks work, home and care, I need to prioritize and sometimes avoid side tracks of what excites. That said, I am still happier with less procrastination.
Three tricks that work for me:
1. When stalled with details, keep moving anyway. “Do something easy.”
2. When wanting quit, nibble. “Do one more thing”
3. When thinking of a trivial task for a third time, just do it. “Three strikes, you’re out.”
