Step 5: Flee! is the most advanced technique in the Procrastination Hacks for the Ambitious series. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those who've mastered the art of Burnout (Step 4) and are ready to take their procrastination game to the next level.
When you're feeling overwhelmed, just flee the scene. Leave your work, your responsibilities, and your loved ones behind. Flee to a remote island, a foreign country, or a distant planet. Wherever you go, make sure it's far, far away from your to-do list.
Example Use Cases:
- Avoiding a meeting by fleeing to a nearby café for a 'quick coffee refill'
- Escaping a deadline by moving to a remote work location (e.g., a mountaintop shack)
- Easily forgetting a social engagement by fleeing to a different continent
