Procrastination solved:
Chapter 5: Prolonging bursts of motivation
Chapter duration: 1 minute
I can’t find motivation even for the smallest tasks
That means your fire of motivation is extremely small. If watching your motivational slideshow on the app didn't work, try opening YouTube and search for “Motivational video”. This will not parmanently solve your procrastination problem, but will make your fire a bit stronger for short period of time.
Dealine for project I am procrastinating on is tomorrow. I can’t afford to waste time on the small stuff.
Well, the reason you haven’t begun with the project already is because your fire of motivation was (is) too small for the size of wood (your big project) you want to burn. Stage 1 tells you how to increase fire. Also, our brain works in a way that it becomes more motivated as deadline (negative consequence) approaches. That’s why a lot of people believe they perform better under pressure.
