End Procrastination – iA

No one came back from YouTube feeling fresh and energized. No one peeled out motivated and happy after two hours of scrolling through Instagram. No one ever got inspired to finish things up after a Netflix Bonanza. Buying some stuff online is not very productive. It’s consuming
And you are not a dog. You don’t need to run after every stick that flies through the air.
If you work, you need breaks… If you work at a screen, a break means getting away from the screen. When? How often? How long? Depending on what you do and as you feel fit. Some need to stop every 25 Minutes. Some can work for 40 Minutes
Once you have gotten started, most things that seem unbearable or impossible turn out to be just something you do. And most likely, making the dishes, making that call, writing that mail turns out to feel good. Moving from passive to active feels good. Making order out of chaos is liberating. Getting stuff done feels great.
