Anthony Bourdain once said “There’s a guy in my head, and all he wants to do is lay in bed all day long, smoke pot, and watch old movies and cartoons. My life is a series of strategems, to avoid, and outwit that guy”. Who is “that guy” for you, and what do you do to avoid him?

    This closely mirrors what I read just yesterday in an interview with a social psychologist. It was in a german newspaper, but I‘m sure it‘s in here too: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/24/1039676445/laziness-does-not-exist-devon-price

    He, Devon Price, wrote a book on the subject, ‚Lazyness Does Not Exist‘, which I‘m planning to read now.

    What I thought was interesting from the Interview was that we procrastinate more with things that are important to us. (BTW his solution is not taking on stuff on your own).
