Six Ways to Overcome the Urge to Procrastinate

They forgot #7: Do not read articles of the form "n ways to do X". Also enable noprocrast on Hacker News, and use a time-tracking tool like RescueTime.

noprocast doesn't work for me. I have Hacker News added to my "Top Sites" and Safari likes to refresh those every so often.

When I did have it enabled I was locked out more often than not making it particularly useless for me. What I have found is that I have started finding a lot of the articles that make the frontpage are boring and I have naturally started visiting less and less.

The "startup kind of person" is ambitious so I'm not sure how many people that applies to. An ambitious procrastinator...is that an oxymoron?

Maybe you don't like being a procrastinator and you have yet to find a way to help it. Like people with ADHD, in which case it's likely that you got a bad hand dealt to you by genetics.
