What You Underestimate

  1. You procrastinate on some task.
  2. You wait for an inspirational spark.
  3. Time passes, and you've got nuthin'.

What are you thinkin''!

Most peeps think completing big projects takes:

  1. comprehensive planning
  2. compiling all necessary resources
  3. setting aside a huge chunk of time

And so, we human people avoid working on our super important stuff -- killing productivity.

Hint: Your brain's tricking you.

Here's how to trick it back. What We Underestimate

We underestimate the power of 30 seconds.

We underestimate how a ridiculously-tiny-amount-of-time can make us much/much/much more productive.

In 30 seconds:

  1. You'll make some mean project your best friend.
  2. You'll get your juices flowing to annihilate the project.
  3. You'll propel yourself beyond those 30 seconds kicking some project's boot-tay.

In other words:

  1. The first 30 seconds will turn into a minute.
  2. That minute will turn into several more minutes.
  3. Those several-more-minutes will turn into _ minutes/hours/days of productive work.

Being super productive just takes a tiny spark.

No-Mo-Procrastino

The cure to procrastination:

  1. Take out a stop watch.
  2. Take 30 seconds to cut into a project/task/goal.
  3. Celebrate.

You've geared yourself produce gobs of productive work beyond those first thirty ticks.

  • Avoiding an important email? Produce something/anything in 30 secs. Ignore quality.
  • Avoiding your taxes? Take 30 secs.
  • Avoiding a monthly project? Take 30 secs.

Booyah. Winner.

30 seconds.
