"**Procrastination is an act of rebellion against what you believe you ‘should’ be doing, and mentally shouting at yourself to do it will only make you rebel more stubbornly**. In his book The Now Habit, Neil Fiore suggests keeping an ‘Unschedule’ – a time log on which you make plans for leisure activities but on which you record hours of work only after you’ve finished them. **If you plan in advance to do a certain number hours of work in a day, anything less becomes a failure; if you make no such plans, every minute worked counts as a success**." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[reading-list]], [[expectations]], [[discipline]], [[consistency]], [[routines]], [[procrastination]] **Source** -- [[20241114100017 - B - Help!]]
