GeneralHow to Stop Procrastinating Pin

Why didn't I think of this, before?

I've been procrastinating for two days. I have to write code for a feature that is very much the same as
a feature that I created several months ago. I can't reuse and modify my other code, and the feature I have to create is so different that I'll have to code it from scratch. At the same time, it conceptually does the same thing. Having already done this before, doing it again is painfully dull to even think about.

Then I realized something. You can only procrastinate if you have the intention of doing something. If you have no plan to do something, then how can you put it off? By choosing not to do something at all, it eliminates procrastination. If you don't procrastinate, then you can't be considered to be an irresponsible person. I choose to be responsible. I'll simply just not do it at all.
