Imagine you could beat procrastination. What would your life look like?
A lot would be different I imagine. Me too. And that is why I decided to start this "online cafe".
Beating procrastination and resistance is hard. Sadly, nobody has found a way to completely rid themselves of these negative forces. But we know of two tools that give us a fighting chance: goals and accountability.
These two have stood the test of time. They are not new or exciting. But they work. And they work well.
TODO: something to back up the claim that goals and accountability will help?
Unfortunately, creating good goals and accountability is difficult 😞.
For goals you can follow something like the S.M.A.R.T criteria. But accountability is trickier.
Most guides simply instruct you to tell everybody about your goal. Announce it to your friends, family, and colleagues. Shout it from the rooftops and tweet it on social media.
For some goals this is a good strategy. You should apply it if you can.
But what if you don't want to share your goal with everybody? Or bother your friends with that 750 word blog post due in 3 days?
Even if you do share it, most people are busy living their own lives. They may not have time to hold you accountable. It isn't their job after all.
