Procrastination Hacks

Step 3: Deflect

Deflect: the art of redirecting your attention away from the task at hand and towards something infinitely more interesting.

When you feel yourself getting bogged down by a task, try this:

• Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and imagine a majestic eagle soaring over the Himalayas.
• Visualize the eagle's piercing cry echoing through the valleys below.
• Now, open one eye, glance at the task, and say: "Ah, yes, but have you seen this disrupting article?"
• Repeat as necessary.
