1. The 5-Minute Rule

The hardest part of a task is getting started.

Try this:

  1. Set a timer for 5 minutes
  2. Work on the task you’ve put off
  3. After 5 minutes, you can stop (if you want)

90% of the time, the momentum of starting is enough to keep you going.

2. Set limits on learning time

  • Growth: learn --> apply --> learn --> apply
  • Procrastination: learn --> learn --> learn Excessive learning becomes procrastination.

For each hour studying, spend an hour applying.
