You suggested this technique to me years ago -- and I am so glad you did! I like to keep one fun project that I can use for procrastinating, which I manage to get a lot of work done on before exams!
Also, I find that mindless tasks, like data entry of some sort, scratch the itch that Facebook scratches but are more productive. There's just something to that dopamine rush of click-reward, click-reward...
Yes, I'm always surprised by how well doing my daily Mnemosyne review (for spaced repetition ) serves to get me over a low-willpower hump.
It's not mindless, obviously, but it's just memory/flash-card review and seems to be much the same.
That sentence seems scrambled.
I think I had issues with Markdown not liking links with double ))s. I've tried to fix the formatting.
