Procrastination, Transcriptions, Inflation And Mood

  • Blinkist summary of Agent Sonya.
  • Blinkist summary of Wie wir aufblühen.

Procrastination. KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. It has more to do with mood management than time management.
  2. Less confidence equals more avoidance.
  3. “Just start…Once you start, the progress fuels your positive feelings about doing the task and those positive feelings lead to more progress.”
  4. According to Sirois, humans are hard-wired pleasure seekers, which means that if the thing you’re putting off is even a little unpleasant or requires effort, it’s easy to put it off.
  5. Many of the reasons for putting things off have a common thread: They’re tied to negative emotions.
  6. When you overthink a task, you can build it up into something that’s much more than what it actually is. 
  7. Procrastinators tend to be low in self-compassion. They’re unkind to themselves. Your inner critic pipes up and gets increasingly mean: “Why didn’t you do this already?” quickly becomes “Why are you such a complete fuck-up?” “All that self-criticism does, then, is generate more negative feelings about the task, which just makes you want to avoid it all the more.”

TL;DR Don’t overthink, just do it.

  • Seth’s Blog : Is mood a gift or a skill? We can do things to improve our mood. Morning pages, meditation, exercise, positive thinking, the right audio inputs, who we hang out with, the media we consume–it’s all a choice. And if it’s a choice, that means it’s a skill, because we can get better at it.
