Procrastination solved:

Chapter 5: Prolonging bursts of motivation

Chapter duration: 1 minute

The fatal mental mistake you are making all the time that kills your motivaiton:

To dramatically speed up overcoming procrastination, you must understand that your motivation is like camp fire. When your fire is small, you don’t feel motivated to do big things. When your fire is big, you feel motivated to do anything with ease. The more motivation you have, the easier practicing a fundamental mind trick will be.

So, how we make the fire of motivation stronger? By adding pieces of wood to a fire. In our case pieces of wood represent different productive actions or tasks. Completing every productive action makes you a bit more motivated. 

BUT
If you try to do a big task with little motivation, you will fail and become even less motivated, the same way small fire will estinguish if you put a big fat tree on it.

One useless piece of advice you might have heard before is: “You should split big tasks into smaller ones”. The problem with this advice is that chopping big chunk into smaller ones requires effort which you are not motivated for at the moment.

To succeed at stage 5, you must accept that at the moment your fire is small and then find tiny tasks that will make it stronger. When you go easy on yourself while still being productive, you will notice your feeling of motivation quickly become stronger.

REMEMBER: The primary objective of doing a tiny task is not to reach your distant goals, but to raise your motivation, which is just around the corner.

In chapter 6 we explain:

  • How to easily unlock levels of motivation and energy you haven’t felt for a long time
  • Which 2 types of tiny tasks are a sure way to longer lasting motivation
  • How to wisely invest tiny bits of motivation to assure the only way you go is UP
