Your Central Executive: This is your thinking and planning brain that lives in your prefrontal cortex. - Chris Bailey

What separates the most productive people from everyone else is that they make course corrections every week to gradually get better at everything they do.

Boring Frustrating Difficult Unstructured or ambiguous Lacking in personal meaning Lacking in intrinsic rewards (i.e., it’s not fun or engaging) The more of these attributes a task has, and the more intense these attributes are, the less attractive a task will be to you, and the more likely you’ll procrastinate on it.

When someone says they “don’t have time” for something, what they’re really saying is that a task isn’t as important or attractive as whatever else they have on their plate.
