On: Ask HN: How do you keep track of everything?

"realize that if you are procrastinating it might be because part of your brain disagrees with a decision you have made."

Now THAT sounds like wisdom

This is a great example for those skeptics who claim there is never a magic recipe for anything. Looking back at all the times that I remember procrastinating, knowing this would have moved things forward a lot faster.

You can take this a step further and track these instances for retroactive pattern recognition and naming. Sometimes your unconscious reasons can only be named after years of subsequent life experience. Both reasons and names may be unique to you or your cohorts, which is why the all-encompassing term 'procrastination' is less than helpful.

Seconded. What an insightful way to look at it.
