To the article's credit, I didn't know that I might be able to cure my procrastination by using DNA antisense to partially shut down my rhinal cortex's dopamine receptors.
And all this time, I've been injecting it into the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Oh, what a fool I've been!

God damn. That is disturbing. I need to get my shit together. Thanks for posting those. :)
You've made me nervous about watching it, but then my dopamine receptors took charge, so I've clicked the links ...

No due dates. That's something that helps me. If I give something a due date, I will procrastinate until the due date has arrived (or in the case of non-critical stuff, I might just not do it at all). It doesn't even matter what the task is, either. "Finish ticket #30 by Friday" and "drink a beer by 9pm" are essentially equivalent; I will avoid doing both until the last minute. And I love beer! For instance, I make i…
The only time I find myself procrastinating is when I am not working on something meaningful or "new" (to me). Thus I use the technique of having my procrastination actually be more productive than trudging through the mundane. i.e. if I am working on something rote or repetitious yet it HAS to be done that way (deadlines, client spec etc.) I spend my procrastination time implementing a class, a library, a syntax, ds…

Problem is most of us work on our computers, and many of us need the internet to work. Personally, I use this: echo "0.0.0.0 news.ycombinator.com" >> /etc/hosts

a relevant update: its 10:42 the night of a deadline. To keep myself stimulated I am working on my native s-expression php syntax (I wouldn't call it "a lisp" but it does lend itself to much more elegant constructs and the "transmogrifier" [takes s-expresisons and fwrites to "normal" php including expansion of special forms] is written in php alone) hahah!

You're a madman!
$inc, $dec, $get = let($count = 0){[$count++],[$count--],[$count];}
This also uses the ability for multiple return values as well as square bracket lambdas which return their last statement if no explicit return is encountered.
Just do it.
"Just fucking do it"
