"What Is The Most Clever Life Hack You've Learned?" Quora

Image result for working on a computer in a coffee shop

"We Know What To Do. 
But Politicians Don't Know How To Get Elected If They Do It."

Alan: Just as "we prefer the devil we know to the one we know not," most of us don't want dependable solutions to the problems we bemoan.

We like muddle... which is why life is muddle.

It is also true that life's three greatest pleasures are 1.) food, 2.) complaint, and 3.) (trailing the pact by a wide measure), sex.

The "problem" is that whenever you solve a problem, there goes #2.

Fortunately, #3 exists to create new problems.

So, although the following article describes a dependable solution to procrastination, the lion's share of procrastinators will not avail themselves because they want to procrastinate more than they say they want to be productive and "on time."

Going to a coffee shop to get some work done?

Leave your charger at home.

Why?

Because after 2–3 hours at the coffee shop, your computer will die.
That means that if you don’t complete your task or project in that time frame, you will have to drive all the way back home to get your charger…
This little hack will increase your productivity and help you overcome procrastination like never before.
Why does it work so well?
Because the hardest part in overcoming procrastination and increasing productivity is starting. And this little hack creates a huge sense of urgency that lights a fire in you and gets you going. It also makes it really annoying if you go all the way to the coffee shop for nothing… so it will motivate you to at least get started and take action.
Go and try this hack for yourself…
And watch your productivity soar.
Just don’t bring your charger with you : )
