ATG 295 | Find an Hour, Start Selling: How I Trick Myself Into Beating Procrastination

 Procrastination loves vagueness. "I'll get to that eventually" means nothing gets done. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact system I use to steal back an hour from my own procrastination, starting with your phone's screen time settings and treating your apps like a restaurant menu. You'll learn why making a list of everything you're procrastinating on actually makes things worse, and why I had to become a phenomenal salesman just to get myself to write. I'll walk you through the four techniques I used today to sell myself on finishing a chapter, including scheduling appointments with myself, using countdown timers, wearing noise canceling headphones as a focus cue, and why writing in a notebook instead of a laptop kills distraction dead. Instagram didn't steal my hours. They sold them to me. It's time to out sell them right back.Episode Links:Order Procrastination Proof!Book Jon to speak at your event!Come to Stage & Page!
