Attention is the backdrop against which we live our lives wherever we go and whatever we do, even if we’re just noticing the thoughts in our head. - Chris Bailey

the more aversive (unattractive) a task or project is to you, the more likely you are to put it off.

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.

productivity has nothing to do with how much you do, and everything to do with how much you accomplish.
