Chris Williamson said something that made procrastination make sense to me. Most of the time it comes down to one of two things:
- You don't know what to do.
- You don't know how to do it.
One is a badly designed next step. The other is not knowing how to take it.
"Work on the business" isn't a next step. "Write 3 hooks for Thursday's video" is.
He recommended Getting Things Done by David Allen for this. It's next on my reading list.
Next time you're putting something off, ask which one it is. What, or how. Then fix that, not your motivation.
