This is so true and so tragic. Why is it that we feel totally ok about flaking out completely on ourselves when we wouldn't dare to flake out on someone else? Fixing this would be huge for raising the 'value' factor in the procrastination equation.
If nobody else cares about me accomplishing a goal, then that goal clearly isn't very important to my tribe's survival and success.
What a piece of shit motivational architecture we have to deal with.
It's the circumstances, not the architecture. You wouldn't blame a Ferrari for its inability to climb trees.
it still sucks for climbing trees. You're right tho; this is a problem to be worked around, not bitched about.
