one of the top comments in the execute by default topic involved something the commenter called "monoidealism" which involved filling up your thoughts entirely with what you need to do. then its easy to do it because you're already doing the annoying part (having to think about it, the physical is rarely an issue).
i stand by my response to that comment: it has changed my life. +10. I can now trivially overcome procrastination that before was seriously crippling my productivity (going weeks without getting anything accomplished, including basic tasks like laundry and cooking food).
modafinil is a +5 i guess. I use it for focused study sessions in math and science and it works well for that. I haven't tried using it regularly.
ordered some melatonin recently, blue blockers, and full spectrum lights recently. will be testing.
Have you tried exposing yourself to high intensity blue light in the morning? A sleep psych recommended them to me and the background research seemed sound enough. And whether or not they work for me the ones I go (thousands of blue LED) look awesome!
