I usually undervalue my work product. Specifically when it comes to pricing a product, or service.

To try and combat this weakness I have started to solicit opinions (pay for professional help) on pricing and market position before making decisions.

I appreciate the link. I know I have made mistakes they spoke of. Perfectly on point for me.


Motivation to workout. I'm not obese or anything, and I realize the importance of exercise but I still can't seem to find the time to do it more than once a week.


Reading hacker news instead of actually doing something


I'm personally a terrible judge of character. More often than not people turn out to be the opposite of what I originally judge them to be.


I often find the idea of doing something more intimidating than actually doing it. Especially socially.


Booting the computer in the morning.


Hiring friends or family members


Falling in love with the idea of something, while ignoring the reality.


Forget important stuff like meeting times, names, etc.


Assuming it'll only take XX days to get it done.


procrastinate


yeah, it's part of our personality, we can't change that
