Have a purpose. When you're gungho to do something or get something done, and you have tremendous drive to do that and not procrastinate. Do something you enjoy. Here's a test for you. If I were to offer you $10 million to do anything you want during your day, what would you do? Would you accept the money? Of course you would. What if the consequence of accepting was that you don't wake up tomorrow morning? Obviously you say no. But you just found out waking up in the morning is worth more than $10 million. | ||

My approach is slightly different. If someone offered you, say, 10k USD every day you put in efforts to achieve your personal goals, and they gave you a condition that there should be no days off, would you turn up every day for the 10k dollars or would you let your distractions win? I bet you'd do what you have to do for the daily 10k dollars, like reading a book, going to the gym, etc. But since nobody is offering us money we let our distractions win because we don't want to achieve our goals bad enough! | ||
