BJ Fogg's Secret to Eliminate Procrastination Forever:
3 ways to take action right here right now by increasing your ability:
Procrastination to Action hack 1: Increase your skills instantly
Take the lazy way.
Don't practice cooking for 10 years. Follow a recipe.
Don't guess how to tie a tie. Watch a YouTube tutorial.
Don't try to win a boxing match alone. Get a coach.
Learn with easy how-to's.
Procrastination to Action hack 2: Get tools and resources
Again, take the lazy way.
Don't use rocks and wood to create a fire. Use a lighter.
Don't mass communicate to people one by one. Tweet to everyone instantly.
Your friend is ready to help you. Ask him/her to.
Procrastination to Action hack 3: Make the action tiny
• focus on the "starter step", the step that starts a task
• don't focus on the 1-hour task, focus on the 1-second task
Make the action the easiest possible so that even if you are super lazy, you can do it.
