you are lucky in that regard. I have no similar power.

There may be some critical step I am missing that would make it that easy? I have insufficient wisdom to tell.

I don't know. Probably, it just works for me. It's a five-second-skill.

  1. notice procrastination
  2. think "I shouldn't be procrastinating, it doesn't help"
  3. convince myself to doing the task I ought to do
  4. do it.

I'd say the third step is crucial.
