Can you resist procrastination?

Helping someone who is stuck with a small request

Running a quick test to see if you're on the right track

Looking for important information to complete the task

Because you feel like you've regained energy before getting back to it

Because you've made the situation simpler, with fewer choices to make

Because you feel relieved immediately when you avoid the difficult task

Because you feel like you've made progress anyway without doing the difficult task

By listing all remaining defects, then correcting them from most important to least important

By listing everything you did well to reassure yourself

By taking 2 minutes to define what is "satisfactory" and sticking to it

By re-reading the document several times without changing anything, so it bothers you less and less

"At 9 AM, I look at my priorities and start with the task that stresses me out the most"

"At 9 AM, I imagine the relief I'll feel when the task is finished"

"At 9 AM, I immediately do a first small, concrete action related to the task"

"At 9 AM, I start as soon as my motivation is above 6 out of 10"

Because the feeling of guilt becomes very motivating

Because stress lowers perfectionism for a moment

Because waiting gave the brain time to find the solution

Because the closer the deadline approaches, the greater the reward for taking action becomes

By thinking about all the consequences of the delay to feel guilty

By making the goal much less ambitious to ensure you can reach it

By waiting until you no longer feel guilty before resuming

By defining a concrete and achievable action to take

Put it in "Do Not Disturb" mode and leave it face down on the table

Put it in a drawer or bag before starting, without checking notifications

Check your notifications for two minutes, then put it further away on the table

Keep it near you, set a 30-minute timer, and don't touch it until the timer goes off
