Motivation/anti-procrastination life hacking research. Specifically, ironing out what specific things I can do to procrastinate less, and making them as easy to do as possible. Research is basically done, just working on implementing what I’ve found out. Pretty successful so far!
Understand Keith Stanovich’s taxonomy of thinking problems, such as in Rationality and the Reflective Mind, to organize all my debiasing/rationality-increasing projects. Motivation for this is two-fold: One, it’s helping me get up to speed on the dual-process literature, and two it’s helping me understand where our rationality goes wrong.

Mostly I’d say try actually doing some of the stuff in How to Beat Procrastination and related posts, instead of just reading about them I’m completely guilty of doing this—I repeatedly caught myself putting off implementing advice by doing more and more research. Probably the most useful thing for me so far is this poster which helps trigger these behaviors.
