The magic button to destroy procrastination.

Oh, look! A puppy.

We all have some ADD (attention deficit disorder), whether mild or extreme.

And we all know how difficult it is to get something done, especially when it is something important.

So, I am going to spare us the details of how procrastination kicks our ass and get straight to the point.

There’s a button in Sunsama that has saved my bacon more times than I can count.

It’s so good at avoiding procrastination that now I procrastinate pressing the button.

So, how does it work?

Once you add all the tasks that you need to work on in the Sunsama app, you go to focus mode and on the first task, you press the play button that looks like this.

This small button then starts counting the time from when you pressed it until you check off the task.

Oh my!

And suddenly you feel a surge to get to work.

You throw your phone away [it hits the wall and breaks into pieces]

You shush the puppy away [it gives you a suspecting look]

And you get typing.

You forget everything and the only thing that matters is that you get this one thing done.

And voila, you can’t believe it!

You thought you’d take 2 hours to write that email and it only took 7 min and 31 seconds.

So, now, we can go back to the puppy and get our iPhone fixed.

Until next time.

Peace!
