I can only get up after I fall, so how in the hell am I supposed to get up an 8th time after falling only 7 times?

I did the ones I mentioned. We won't talk about any others. 👀

I also do this and realized now I’ll never be able to live with a long term partner. RIP

it’s more of a simple reminder. not meant to completely rewire peoples brains. more so to remind at least one person to get that text sent, do that load of laundry, or make that appointment they’ve been putting off. i’m also a procrastinator and when i saw this it motivated me to do my dishes. baby steps.

one thing at a time! take it slow and you’ll feel so good when you get to cross just ONE thing off of that list. you can do it :)

I believe in you :)

I’ve learned to procrastinate as a strategy being salaried exempt. I procrastinate at work because I’m tired of the routine bureaucratic parts of the job that make it more painful than doing your taxes and the never ending pile of tasks that get continuously added to my workload as a result of being efficient.

Just because you can do something well doesn’t mean you enjoy it, but management seems to think that’s the case even if you said it wasn’t—so they pawn off more of it on you. Do your job well and finish your work, and in the infinite wisdom of management your reward is more work rather than open time leaving you free to be more proactive at attacking the issues plaguing your company.

Ironically, in a job formally defined as a problem solving role, they just want you to do what they tell you to do rather than think and solve problems. They’ll unload your colleagues and give it to you or just go to you because you get things done, and it leads to burnout.

It’s sad because in corporate America my personal experience in the industrial sector has been that management is all knowing, and they tell everyone what to do. Giving your people freedom for a part of the workweek—even 1 day per week—to pursue solving the problems they’ve identified as important would go a long way toward reducing procrastination, improving morale, and job satisfaction.

My phone is plugged across the room! My alarm goes off, I get up, step on my lamps floor switch(no hands-easy), and walk straight to my coffee pot(which I have a timer set to brew 10 minutes before my alarm goes off). Once I put this in place I have never slept in since!

I also give myself time to sit and wake up while drinking coffee. I’ll save podcast episodes that I’ve been wanting to listen to for the morning, so it’ll motivate me to stay up and listen! It’s a nice ritual that I’ve grown to look forward to.

I mean it's a nice sentiment but it's also kinda hard to take seriously. His self is god damned Bruce Lee. Myself is me. Also he had mentors to sculpt him since he was a child. I really don't think he can relate to an average person very well.

I needed to hear this today too. Lost my best friends in the world this week because of a mistake I made. I am broken without them

I just set like 37 alarms every ten mins for an hour before I have to be up. With the snooze button my alarm goes off more and more frequently the closer to the time I have to be up.

Basically, annoy yourself into waking up.

The iPhone alarm sound has me so traumatized that even when I am awake my heart starts beating real fast when it goes off on someone else’s phone. Something about that sound always gets me up from bed.

Torn between being water and being myself.

My first proper flagship smartphone was the Mi 4. All Xiaomi's phones have this alarm tone by default, it's called Good Morning. It's so fucking irritating that after using Mi 4 for 2-3 months, I no longer had to set multiple alarms. One was enough.

That tune has been my alarm tone on every single phone afterwards. I copied the file to Google Drive and change default of every new phone.

Fall down 8 times, I’ll just sleep here.

I have a song I sing to my wife when we are both procrastinating..Like to hear it? Hear it goes.. In a sing song voice

"Procrasti-nator, Procrasti-nator, why do it now when you can do it la-ter"

I use the Alarmy app. Very loud alarm with different things you have to do in order to shut it off. I do complex math problems, but walking around is an option

This is such a scary thought, but it's so true..
My girlfriend and I are in a long distance relationship and we are always talking about what we wanna do when we start living together, and the same thought always comes back;

"What if-"...

Its not easy for everyone, but when you have the chance, don't let it go and do what you wanna do!

This is similar to a line from a DJ Shadow song. Tomorrow never comes until it's too late...
