Procrastination Hacks for the Ambitious

Technique: Task Swapping

Swap your most important task with someone else, but make sure you're not the one getting stuck with the boring one.

Step 1: Find a Procrastination Partner

  1. Find someone who is also avoiding their work.
  2. Make a deal to swap tasks, but only with the understanding that you're both going to do the other person's work instead.

Step 2: Execute the Swap

  1. Hand over your task to your partner with a confident "I'm done with this one!" attitude.
  2. Get the other person's task in return, but only if they're willing to do yours.

Example: Swap the laundry with your partner, and have them do the dishes.
