I didn&#x27;t even click the article (the pain of reading it seemed too large) so I came directly to the comments.<p>Awesome tips! &quot;Our instincts know what they&#x27;re doing&quot; is very true. I tend to procrastinate when two conditions are fulfilled 1) the task is boring&#x2F;painful, and 2) in the back of my mind, I&#x27;ve already calculated out the time and I can afford to push it until later. Trying to force myself just increases my expected pain of the task, so I should just go with it.<p>(And look, I&#x27;m procrastinating so much I made a HN account so I could comment about procrastination!)
