Since scattered “productivity tips” seem so popular here, here’s mine: if you’re reading this and there’s something more useful you feel like you should be doing, then stop right now, take a moment to sweep out your working memory so it’s tidy, and carefully hold onto the idea of the useful thing you could be doing. Remember what it feels like to actually do it. Then close your browser tab and let that happen instead.
I happen actually to be in my very specific allocated time for “30 mins of LW reading and writing”. But usually, this site is a procrastination hole for me, so thanks.
Still, I must say, a very life-improving procrastination hole.
