Stop procrastinating!

The following article is a must read for all of you procrastinators out there!

research shows that when we think to ourselves, "I'll feel more like doing it tomorrow." we really do believe it, meaning that we separate our future self from our present self, and we believe that the 'tomorrow' version of us will do a better job than the today version.  

The problem with this thought process is that its flawed! Because the future self and the present self is the SAME YOU! when we can picture our "future self" in our mind with the burden of tomorrow's responsibilities AND today's, we are more motivated to get our work done without putting it off.  Very interesting read!
