I feel personally called out
Im in this picture and I don’t like.
Does anybody have tips to be more productive?
You’re procrastinating because you have some anxiety based on overestimation of the effort that the task will require and underestimation fo the pain that it will be to rush it at last minute. To prevent your brain from going wild, split into little easy tasks, start with something that seems pleasant or easy to do in 5 min and you may manage to focus for longer, or take a break and set another 5 min task. You can also add some reward, like I’ll eat this chocolate cookie or watch this cool video after I have completed this much.
Since I switched to quartertime I quadrupeld my procrastination productivity.
Not done at 6? Instead of not doing it at 7 i’ll now not doing it at 6:15, 6:30 and 6:45, too.
Yeah sure, just lemme browse a bit longer and after that I’ll type them up for you.
I am in that picture and I don’t like it
get an analog watch/clock. It’s amazing. For real you don’t know what you’re missing until you have one
So you don’t know what time it is and never feel guilty about procrastinating?
The opposite, I can at a glance tell how much time has passed and how much time I have left in a very visual way. The hands are a much easier way to interpret passage of time than some digits. And like the OP points out, it doesnt really matter if its 6:00 or 6:05, but I can see how much I’ve already procrastinated and how much I have left to do The Thing.
I’m genuinely suggesting this, it has made a difference for me.
I’ve been using mine wrong, I use my analog watch as a mouse bed so I won’t appear away in teams. Lol
Oh don’t worry I’m suggesting this for important things, not work.

This is so relatable
