Haven't watched the video. For me the only thing that works. The only hack that works is having a contract with a third party. You don't procrastinate on paying your mortgage right. You do it every month. You don't not show up for work right. Or for meetings right. You don't procrastinate on paying your cellphone bill/internet bill/paying rent etc. Why? Because you have contracts with another party and there are cons…
I think you've got the right idea here. Worksheets are key! I have something similar at bizworklife.com, but not focused on procrastination specifically (although it's covered in one of the lessons).
That domain appears to be suspended
I feel like I'm one of the worst procrastinators in the world. Today I spent an hour doing some focused, concentrated work with zero problems, but then I had to reply to a "difficult" email that I've been putting off.

Hope that helps.

If you have the inattentive subtype of ADHD, medication is 90% effective at alleviating symptoms such as procrastination.
Many people here have commented about doing a “dopamine detox,” but what if your brain isn’t producing enough dopamine on its own? A detox is unlikely to help.
Cool project with a clean layout and neat little illustrations. If you were taking suggestions: * First video should be somewhat interesting and relevant to the topic, I felt that for a video named "Introduction" it was mostly promotions for other products/the "premium" versions/etc. * Having three animating progress bars on desktop for each step is a little distracting. There's one in the video embed, one green prog…
The introduction is about the course, the Internal Triggers 1 lesson is meant as a preview of the course. I'll work on the first mile experience (term from Scott Belsky) more.
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned possibly seeking help from a doctor. Prevalence of ADHD in the adult population is estimated to be much higher than the rate at which it is diagnosed.
