I used to use wakeupdialer and set the phone away from me. Have to put their number in your phone if you have the “silence unknown calls” feature on. It helped some.

Mel Robbins introduced me to the 5-second rule. You have 5 seconds to get up before your brain decides to make every excuse for you NOT to do it. It really changed my ability to get up in the mornings.

My clock/alarm has been kept across the room so that I must get up and cross the room to turn it off since college. It was/is the only way I can make sure it wakes me up.

Sitting here putting off some tasks. I'll do them.

Leave your phone on the other side of the room so you need to get up to turn it off.

Sleep with your curtains open so the light comes in and wakes you up

Get a screaming meanie alarm clock. Set it on high. Place it in a location where you have to get up to turn it off. Problem. Solved.

This just reminded me to check the to do list I made two weeks ago and promptly forgot about. But I’m also scared to check in case something with a deadline was on there. Damn

Erst die Arbeit und dann das Vergnügen.

First the work and then the enjoyment.

I feel your pain.

It will be night by the time its done, so doing ruins the day.

Grrr, this image totally ruined my relaxing procrastination session.

THANKS!

I will gladly eat a frog, as long as it's not on my todo-list. I'll eat it to procrastinate whatever I'm really supposed to be doing. If it was on the list, you can be damn sure I wouldn't touch the bloody frog until way past its best-before date.

Lol, yeah, for people who actually have this problem, I'm sure "just do it" is as effective as telling a depressed person to stop being sad.

How does one get out of this habit

> I'll have too much time left on my hands

Yep get everything done by noon then.....congrats you have the rest of the day wanting to do nothing :D

>A couple months ago I cooked breakfast for myself. Then brushed my teeth. Then cleaned my room. Then worked out. Then went for a short run. Then took a shower. Then I ate lunch. Then I did about 4 hours of school work

All by noon and then you have nothing to do the rest of the day because you usually spend the rest of the day trying to avoid those things you now did.

This is not for everyone but I do my cleaning Friday after work before I let myself change into comfy clothes and relax. My husband is definitely not on board lol so we're still working on being consistent, but otherwise once I'm in weekend mode - I'd rather have a filthy house than do the Sunday AM clean I had planned!

Uh, I’ve memorized the Tao Te Ching in multiple languages.

This is categorically false.

I had to double take because I thought that was a blunt in his mouth

Love this. But also, anyone else feel like this was written on a Whoopie Cushion?

Eat the frog

🤣
