Getting Myself to Do the Dishes
Jan 21, 202000:08:23Tap to summarizeI never want to do the dishes, so they just pile up and make my living space feel cluttered and gross. It's a simple task that I acknowledge I should do, yet I avoid it. I need to understand why I resist such a simple chore so I can get myself to do it.

How To Follow Through
Jan 7, 202000:06:32Tap to summarizeSetting goals and resolutions are easy. They take no real effort. Following through is where I fall down.

Using Deadlines to Stop Procrastination
Dec 17, 201900:06:46Tap to summarizeProcrastination can also be the result of simple laziness. Sometimes I just don't want to do something even though it's for my own good. I'm not afraid of it or trying to avoid it, I just don't care enough right now to do anything about. Deadlines can provide the motivation to overcome laziness but I need to be careful not to introduce so much pressure that I feel anxious about the deadline and procrastinate just to avoid it.
