Procrastination Hacks for the Ambitious: Defensive Techniques

Chapter 3: The Art of Procrastination

As an ambitious individual, you're likely no stranger to the feeling of being overwhelmed by your workload. But did you know that there's a whole art to procrastination? A delicate dance between the desire to get things done and the urge to do absolutely nothing.

Here are some defensive techniques to help you navigate this delicate balance:

1. The Pomodoro Technique (aka "Focus, Focus, Focus")

Work in focused 25-minute increments, followed by a 5-minute break. This will give you the illusion of being productive while secretly wasting hours on cat videos.

			// Focus, Focus, Focus
			import procrastinate from 'procrastination.js';
			const task = new ProcrastinationTask();
			task.start(25); // Work for 25 minutes
			task.break(5); // Take a 5-minute break
		
		

2. The "I'll Do It Later" Technique (aka "The Sisyphean Method")

Write it down, but don't do it. Yet.

3. Multitasking (aka "The Multimodal Method")

Do multiple things at once to avoid feeling like you're actually doing nothing. Watch cat videos, check your phone, and work on your to-do list. Simultaneously.

Or, if you're really advanced, try:

			
				// Multimodal Method
				const tasks = [
					"Watch cat video 1",
					"Check phone 1",
					"Work on to-do list 1"
				];
				const multitasker = new Multitasker(tasks);
				multitasker.start();
