Beating procrastination on the web

by admin on July 23, 2009 · 0 comments

There’s a ton of websites out there offering advice to beat procrastination, to make you a better person, to get you a better job, more money, nicer hair, healthier, a better website, etc, and so on.

I subscribe to a ton of RSS feeds, many of which are sites offering that kind of advice. Well, maybe not the hair one…

But not anymore, I’ve binned 90% of my feeds from Google Reader cos I realised one simple thing:

If I spent as much time actually working towards my goals as I did reading about how to reach them I would be much better off. Instead of reading about jogging form I could be out pounding the pavement. Instead of reading about a new programming language I could be writing something in it. And the worst of all:

reading about beating procrastination…

When does that become procrastination itself?
