Comment on Ask HN: Does procrastination advice help you?

Comments

The most effective advice I read was to accept that one is prone to procrastination and to simply push through on small tasks and then reward yourself with a break afterwards. It works the same way as muscle training, over time it gets easier and the breaks become less frequent.

Proper breaks can also give you the opportunity to get up and walk around instead of perpetually doom scrolling or staring at a blank screen. So it's a double win.
