If it was that simple, everyone would just do that.

"Just x" usually indicates someone doesn't understand why others have problems with x.

It's not that simple; but it's also why not everyone is uber-successful.

also an interesting read: http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procrastin...

I take it as more positive than normative.

In other words: here is a description of how it turns out I get (certain) things done; and not: here is a recipe for getting things done.

(It occurred to me to post it this morning because I spent half an hour making a 'retina'/hi-dpi version of the HN voting arrow and emailing it in, on the off-chance it might get used, in preference to about 14 more pressing tasks).

All this reading is why I procrastinate in the first place! It's like trying to find a solution to a problem that does not exist.

Do you have any anecdotal success stories to share related to having read _Do_The_Work_?

Yeah, I stopped thinking about my projects when I wasn't working on them (letting my mind relax while exercising, cooking, etc), then when I have spare time I stretch for a few minutes sit down and start working.

I shipped 2 games + 1 update to Apple last month.
