Motivation is the antidote to procrastination
Motivation is not about willpower.
Instead, it& #39;s about
- What you expect to get
- How much you value it
- Your ability to reduce distraction
- The delay between now and what you want
Work to improve these then you& #39;ll succeed

Reduce procrastination by expecting you can succeed
Your expectation about increases motivation to do a task
Expect success, you will start
Expect failure, you won’t
Be honest. Do you think you will fail or succeed?

The value of the task changes your willingness to do it
If you increase
- the enjoyment
- the reward
… you are more likely get to work
To increase the value:
- make it a game
- 10x the profitability
- connect to your purpose

Motivation is destroyed by your impulsivity
Your tendency to get distracted lures you into Twitter or Instagram instead of your work at hand
Decrease impulsivity by increasing friction between you and distractors
- hide your phone
- turn off notifications
- clean up your desk

Far off goals are procrastination favorites
The longer the delay between now and your goal, the more likely you will procrastinate
Decrease delay by:
- Creating subgoals
- Have blocks of time
- Focus on daily habits

Understanding you is the key to procrastination
You can read every book on productivity (later of course). However, until you know what works for you and your life, it won& #39;t matter.
Optimizing your life means being aware of you.
