Do this if you’ve been procrastinating all day – By Alexey Guzey

This practical plan is from Alexey Guzey’s blog post: “Every productivity thought I’ve ever had, as concisely as possible.

In the post, he reminds us of an important paradox: Every productivity system stops working eventually, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

You’ve most likely tried the Pomodoro technique. You set the timer for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break, then set the timer for 25 minutes again. Or you could try allowing yourself to take a break at any time, but not to start doing something else. For example, opening a new browser tab or checking your phone is off limits. You can stare out the window for a few minutes, but by eliminating distractions, you’ll get your work done eventually.

No solution is perfect. However, here’s a short-term fix for what you can do if you’ve been procrastinating for an entire day:

  1. Accept that you won’t do anything today and try not to get angry at yourself.
  2. Set the alarm for the time you will be preparing to go to bed today.
  3. No, really. Do it. It will take 20 seconds.
  4. Procrastinate for the rest of the day.
  5. When the alarm rings, put your laptop and everything you need for work in your backpack.
  6. When you wake up, try not to check social media, email, or anything else. Do not take anything out of your backpack.
  7. Get dressed, take your stuff, and go to a library, cafe, or whatever else where you have either:
    • never been to;
    • been to but never procrastinated within the last 6 months.
  8. While getting to that place, figure out what you want to be doing today.
  9. Do it.
  10. Return home in the evening. Don’t take anything (especially your laptop) out of your backpack. Repeat steps 6-10.

I don't know anybody who has deep-dived into content marketing and social media like Vahur. The way he writes using copywriting persuasion principles and communicates with his audience is outstanding.

Only some people understand the social media game and how to tap into human psychology to stop the scroll. Vahur is really passionate about content writing and systemizing it. It's surprising how his content always gets attention.
