Kick procrastination's ass: Run a dash [2005]
justice:
One of the best articles I've ever read, you MUST read this. Fully.
My favorite tonic for procrastination—which I have mentioned in passing previously—is what I call a dash, which is simply a short burst of focused activity during which you force yourself to do nothing but work on the procrastinated item for a very short period of time—perhaps as little as just one minute. By breaking a few tiny pebbles off of your perceived monolith, you end up psyching yourself out of your stupor, as well as making much-needed progress on your overdue project. Neat, huh?

Sorry, I am procrastinating about reading your post, but I promise I will get to it soon.

Now if I could just get somebody to dash in and kick a few procrastinator's asses, I'd be all set. ;D
