Allowing motivation to rule what we do, and more importantly, what we choose not to do, is the quickest way that I can think of to never reach your goals, do any work that requires real effort, and let your productivity, well, be nonexistent.

That’s why having ways to overcome the script playing in your head, saying, “I don’t feel like it," is essential to getting things done and maintaining a level of productivity in work and life.

When you are having trouble starting your work or a task, the quickest way I can think of to bypass the lack of motivation feeling is to just start. But if just starting was that easy, there would never be the hums and haws of procrastination that everyone deals with at one time or another.

So, when you are going through an “I don’t feel like it” moment or are just not feeling the tasks on your agenda, what do you do to still make forward progress??

Simple: Grab a timer!

This is the most effective yet underutilized tool for dealing with procrastination and maintaining productivity.
