Motivation begets motivation, and momentum begets momentum, right? Getting started is, like, by far the hardest part, but after you make some progress, you get inspired to keep going and try harder :D

It's like when you get invited to a party or something, and you don't wanna put forth the effort to getting dressed, driving over, and going out - but you force yourself to do it and end up having a good time! It's work, but it ends up being worth it.


Yeah. In my experience it's also kind of like exercising or doing homework. You really don't want to do it, but when you're doing it, generally you feel like you're doing something useful and the barrier of entry is far higher than the actual task at hand. I recently overcame procrastination when I finally created my Befuddle puzzle. Even though it might not be the best, at least I finished it. Just get past that barrier of entry by strongarming your way in.

Also, eliminate all distraction. It's funny what not using the internet can do to your productivity. Close your browser or unplug your modem and see what chores get done, or whatever ;)

I could seriously hire someone to send me IMs once in a while being like, "Hey, are you goofing off right now? Why aren't you working on something? You don't need to play another game of Hearthstone, you idiot"

motivation begets motivation but sometimes guilt trips also beget motivation

I'll be your designated thorn-in-the-side for a few dollars a day. :D
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

today I successfully flipped between windows and tabs for twelve hours, chatting with people on different websites, while accomplishing nothing. except for hiring a new volunteer to help with my online game and giving them like an hour of training before they had to leave. so basically my only accomplishment was getting someone else to do my hobby for me.

The death knell sounded in 2011 when Universal started suing them, I'm amazed they lasted as long as they did.
Oatmeal's name is a lie, it isn't much of a meal on its own at all.

That's because that's not what the suffix -meal means.

Yeah, but those don't last long enough for me. They're also slightly depressing.
I remember thinking to myself a month ago "The end is almost here! I'm almost out of Junoir year with one more to go!" and I was overwhelmed with happiness. My motivation skyrocketed, I giggled to myself constantly, and I got things done.
Fastforward a few days and now I'm stuck again in some month of "ugh w/e" bullshit. It's like I forgot that time is still going forward.
