I too suffer from lazy-itis (or as I call it lazy-bastardness) and I use similar methods to get myself through it.

I have one which is comparable to the 2min rule only I'm a little more vulgar in application - it mostly involves me doing some self-talk and telling myself not to be a lazy fuck and just get to work now. As you mentioned, once you get started then you usually find you keep going.

I also don't beat myself up when I have a lazy day. I accept it and get back on track ASAP. As long as it doesn't drag out more than a day or two at the most, then it's ok.

Beating the procrastination bug is an ongoing battle but one I'm dedicated to winning.

Thanks for sharing this piece and reassuring me there are other out there who face the same challenges 👍.
