Kick procrastination's ass: Run a dash

43 Folders.com suggests a dash to rid yourself of procrastination.
Reminds me of games my mom used to try on us when we grew up.
"Ok. Everyone pick up 10 things in the living room and then we can take a break." "Clean your room for 5 minutes straight and then we can take a break"
My favorite tonic for procrastination--which I have mentioned in passing previously--is what I call a dash, which is simply a short burst of focused activity during which you force yourself to do nothing but work on the procrastinated item for a very short period of time--perhaps as little as just one minute.

Looks like she was onto something after all.
