Yes, I have had the same experience, although it always seems short-lived.
Perhaps it says more about the technique of consuming motivational self-help books, more than the techniques described inside.
And I've seen people who work on self-improvement say that the motivation needs to be refreshed and maintained, so reading (or rereading) self-help books might be a standard approach.
I want to test different techniques for decreasing personal procrastination. What would be an easy way to measure procrastination so that I can do the comparison?
I would also like to hear suggestions for measuring the inverse i.e. how can I measure getting-things-done-ness.
