Please give me tips on getting productive

| Please, I'm a lazy piece of shit and I want to make music, start writing applications, want to design stuff, etc.


| Just do it bro


| Step 1: Close danger/u/
Step 2: Go outside and take a walk.
Step 2.5: While you're at it, try to figure out what **exactly** you want to accomplish in life and what you need to do to reach those goals.
Step 3: Go back home and write down everything you came up with in step 2.5.
Step 4: Identify your main distraction sources and pull the plug from all of them. *Indefinitely.* (I never said this would be easy...)
Step 5: Get shit done.
Step 6: ???
Strp 7: Profit.


| >>158423 Support this, it's a good way


| >>158423 I second this. Might get some piece of advice for myself, too.


| Perhaps what you're distracting yourself from isn't your responsibilities, but the troubles of your life that you can't bear to face.


| >>159274 but what would I do about it?


| Break stuff down into actionable steps so it doesn't seem as daunting.
Dread going to work? Just tell yourself all you need to do is get out of bed and eat breakfast.
Then, all you need to do is get in the car, etc. Until the work is done.
Sometimes the bigger picture can be daunting. Eat the elephant a bite at a time.

Yes. This is exactly what helped me so fricking much.


| I like to make a list of all the things i need to do each morning, check of things as they're finished, and at night write explicitly which I did, which i didn't, and why. It makes me think critically about time management, expectations and priorities, and to face failures sooner than I'd usually face the consequences.


| Another thing can be planning out your recreational/rest activities for the day, not only are they more enjoyable without procrastination hanging over one's head but it makes it easier to say "shitposting time's up, time to work" or "i shouldn't get distracted now, because in half an hour I'll get to do that anyway"


| just do it. even though you don't want to
