How do you fight procrastination?
patio11: I believe in my bones that most large tasks are just arbitrarily long collections of small tasks which are measurable, and since I know I can keep going for years as long as I get frequent small packets of success, I structure things to look like that.This is the WoWification of life for me: the thing about dragonslaying is that you're not spending 720 hours to be able to slay the dragon.  You spent 30 minutes rescuing this one village and then 2 hours pillaging this one dungeon and then 5 minutes finding this one slipper and... whoa, you just killed a dragon.  And then it turns out that killing the dragon was, itself, just one more small goal.Your business, or your other arbitrary goal with real meaning to it, is a lot like WoW.  It has projects rather than raids, milestones rather than achievements, and A/B tests rather than quests, but you can break it down into arbitrarily fine units and conquer them one at a time.I don't completely WoWify my business just because I think it would be frighteningly successful at manipulating my monkey brain, to the exclusion of other things of importance to me.Other things that help me: having routines, social support via HN & etc (here we go with WoW again: sure, you could quit, but what would your guildmates say?), structuring my business such that almost all deadlines are flexible (I know that shouldn't work, but it does for me), and having a life away from the computer.
