I found this article to be very helpful! I'm not a big procrastinator, but that's not to say I never anxiously clean instead of working on my writing or school work. I gave these evening reflections a shot and noticed that there are times I habitually find myself doing some other productive activity instead of the one I think I "should" be doing. I also have been practicing the procrastination cost vs worst-case failure cost and have found this second step to be enormously helpful. As a person who tends to be often too tightly wound and not allowing for enough rest, this quick internal check in allows me to make more skillful decisions on how to use my free time now. Thank you for the share!
