Do you know the sky-high barrier between the life you desire and the life you possess?

It’s “I’ll do it tomorrow/later/next week.”

Most of us already have the talent and work ethic demanded by our dreams — the problem is we just don’t get started.

“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone”

― Pablo Picasso

Here are 33 tips to propel you off the couch and get working ASAP:

1. Every night, decide 3 things you’ll do at any cost the next day — let your subconscious plan them as you sleep.
2. If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it right away — delaying it is an unnecessary mental load.
3. Taper off the dopamine-leaching stuff — like porn, alcohol, video games, drugs, and social media. Best? Try a dopamine detox.
4. Batch up your shallow tasks and do them at the end of your day — when you’re low on energy.
5. Start with the easiest task — and wield the built-up momentum to plow through the hard ones.
