How to Procrastinate More Productively
The trick to becoming more productive when you procrastinate is to become a ʺconstructive procrastinatorʺ.
Procrastination can make you less productive, but it doesn’t have to.
If you procrastinate, instead of trying (and failing) to completely rewire the way you think, try using procrastinating to your advantage.
Simply make a list of what high-leverage activities you can do the next time you procrastinate (I call mine my “procrastination list”). When you find yourself procrastinating, do an item from the list instead of a low-leverage activity.
It’s a good idea to put a wide variety of high-leverage stuff on the list so you can find something you’ll actually do.
