π‘ Pro Tip: The 10-10-10 Rule
Ask your AI assistant:
*"What will I think of this task in 10 mins/10 months/10 years?"*
(Works with ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.)
π± Sample Voice Command:
*"Hey Siri, start a 25-minute focus session with brown noise."*
π― Your Tech-Powered Action Plan
Morning: AI planner (Motion) schedules your MITs
Work: Cold Turkey blocks distractions + Muse monitors focus
Evening: Toggl Track analyzes time use patterns
The Anti-Procrastination Framework
(Based on Stanford Behavioral Science Research)
1. The 2-Minute Rule (Atomic Habits)
If a task takes <2 minutes: DO IT NOW (reply to email, quick cleanup)
Tech Hack: Use Siri/Google Assistant timers for instant execution
2. Time Blocking (Neurofocus Technique)
Schedule tasks in 25-50min chunks with 5min breaks
Tool: Google Calendar (color-coded blocks) or Toggl Plan
3. The "5-4-3-2-1" Launch Method
When resisting a task: Count down 5-4-3-2-1 then physically move toward it
Why it works: Interrupts amygdala's fear response
