Beat Procrastination With Momentum

Your brain literally values scrolling TikTok right now more than your future success.

Here's why you can't stop procrastinating. Ancient Greeks called it akrasia, acting against your

better judgment. Your Present Self craves instant rewards while your Future Self wants long-term

success. That's why you choose Netflix over studying even though you know better.

The actual work is less painful than the guilt of avoiding it. Use the 2-minute

rule: start any task for just two minutes. Break that essay into 250-word chunks

instead of thinking about the whole thing. Make tomorrow's first task tonight

so you wake up knowing exactly what to do. Your brain just needs momentum.
