Necromancyr, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1The coffee comment is interesting in that depending on the tea, he may be getting more caffeine then he would by just drinking coffee.
jeffchuck, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1"the 20% rule states that you notice when you first feel a strong urge to give up. You then commit to go 20% further before taking a long break."

20% further than what? 20% of the project? 20% of the day? Either way, that could be several hours of work which is way too much.
irishjays, on 12/12/2007, -0/+020% of the time I do work, 80% of the time I browse digg.
beautyscientist, on 12/12/2007, -0/+0It didn't have the top tip that I have found most useful in overcoming procrastination.

I'll post it a bit later.

TrevorBelmont, on 12/12/2007, -0/+1Is this even a concern for the serially lazy? That they MIGHT end up a workaholic if they apply themselves at all?
