try this http://www.antiprocrastinator.com/

also, contact someone who is proficient in helping people, for eg. here we have Alicorn, or try some googling.

I'm desperate enough to ask on LW. Of course I've Googled everything I could think of.

The link is decent, combining two good tricks and a valuable insight, but all three have been on LW before so I knew them.

Pointing out Alicorn in particular may be useful, but isn't it sort of forcing her to offer help? She already did, though, which makes this point moot.

I more or less meant direct a question to her and see what happens rather than impose and keep bugging, which I had a feeling you wouldn't do in either case.

I'm flattered, but while I enjoy helping people, I'm not sure how I've projected being proficient at it such that you'd notice - can you explain whence this charming compliment?

why of course! I've been lurking for a few years now so I remember when you began posting on self help etc. now that think more about it though, I might've had pjeby in mind as well, you two sort of 'merged' when I wrote that above comment, heh

but really, proficient is just a word choice, I guess it is flattery, and I did mean to signal you, but that's how I usually write.

apologies if that overburdened you in anyway..

ETA: oh and I'd meant to write 'more proficient', not just 'proficient'.
