My low-paying, early-morning, exertion-requiring job

great and insightful article

I don't think this is surprising at all. You're brought up through primary/secondary education where there is a very definite requirement of when and where to be. College hits and that requirement is softened, and procrastination works out a-okay for all sorts of people. Finally, you land a tech job with flex hours and where remote is okay - suddenly you have to exercise self control in a manner that hasn't ever mattered before.

While it seems to me that the 'ideal' (hugely qualified and highly subjective, that word) answer is to practice that self-control (and with that, go through the ups and downs of succeeding and failing at exercising it), the solution that Jesse has found is effective and doesn't have too much overhead. I like it.

Wow, haven't read the article yet, but that's one beautiful 522 error page Cloudflare are displaying now.

Great article, short and to the point.

I think it says a lot about your character that you want to try to maintain being a real person rather than another startup founder with his head in the clouds.

As someone who would love to work from home / run a business again someday you've given me an idea on how to instill a little structure. I struggled with it when running my own company before.
