Defeat Procrastination

Tabletop gamers do a lot more thinking about the games they want to play than actually playing them. This is even more true for solo gamers, especially the ones all wrapped up with blogs (I'm looking at you, reflection). Alex Vermeer has a plan to stop that procrastination - and it's a flowchart!

From Alex:

Two of my recent posts were meant to highlight clear, actionable things we can do to defeat procrastination – whether it’s general life and environment changes or things that can be done immediately – based on The Procrastination Equation by Piers Steel.

They’re a bit long, and despite my best intentions to use as many of the methods from the book as possible, when I’m in the middle of procrastinating I don’t tend to go out of my way to look up a post, find a method, and implement it.

It needs to be easier; it needs to be as easy as possible!

So, I created a flowchart, to be printed in colour and posted somewhere visible, to help me actually use the anti-procrastination advice I so desperately need!

To use it: when you notice you are procrastinating, pick one of the items from the green, yellow, or blue branches and implement it, using the tips to help you out.
