I stumbled upon a good blog post today. I think I might print it out and pin it on the wall in front of my desk.

What do you think about it?

Here it is:

    Um, unless the point of that was to make people want to quit, I think it was a poorly planned/written post. Just listing the factors does nothing to elicit an emotional response. You have this nice long list of pleasurable things to do, and then three negative aspects that can easily be brushed off. They're just 11 words at the bottom of the page after all, and aren't quantified or qualified in any way.

    It makes for a good lesson on motivational writing at least.

    Actually, many of the things in this list can help you achieve your dreams harder. I mean procrastinating in any way you think just makes you waste time that makes it harder and longer for you to achieve your dreams. Discipline... develop good habits and techniques and those things will help you achieve your dreams.
