in imageSo how do we stop
procrastinating joy?
• Notice the trap: If you catch
yourself delaying positive things,
stop.
• Change the friction level: If you
want to do something positive,
make it easier to do it.
• Schedule fun: Making a rule to
do something enjoyable at a set
time could make it easier to
follow through.
• Change your mindset about
what's special: Trying to get over
the trap of specialness may be key.
