this is the 30C rule that makes
procrastinating impossible using this
rule I can work for five and more hour
straight without ever getting distracted
we've all tried all kinds of
procrastination hacks but there's one
thing missing from all of them and it's
the reason you still spend 1 hour
scrolling before you even start working
the detach rule covers this Missing Link
and because of this it will convince
your brain to start working better than
any other procrastination HCK so let's
begin the reason why it's called the
touch rule which is also part of what
makes it so special is that in the first
5 Seconds all you have to do is just
recognize your procrastinating and then
stare blankly at your distraction this
way you are detaching from your
distraction basically rewiring your
brain but if you just do this you'll get
back to Doom scrolling in no time and
that's exactly why the next 10 seconds
are so important in the next 10 seconds
stop staring at your distraction this
time stare into the void while asking
yourself this question is this really
what I want to do even before you finish
this sentence the answer in your mind
should already be a clear no but it's
still not enough simply stating you
don't want to
procrastinate won't stop you from doing
so and you already know it too well but
this is where the missing link finally
comes into play before the 10 seconds
end think of a list of every possible
reason why working is better than
procrastinating I have a presentation
tomorrow and it's going to be a mess if
I don't prepare it now the earlier I get
this done the earlier I get to have fun
if I do this well everyone's going to
praise me that's exactly what the
missing link is many program ination
rules tell you to just start doing the
thing but it simply doesn't work if you
first don't convince your brain that
working is the best option the human
brain always chooses the PA that looks
the most beneficial so if you make it
believe that working brings more
benefits than scrolling then it will be
easy to get started but as you probably
noticed we are only 15 seconds in
something's still missing and it's what
is going to make or break everything
you've done so far what you're going to
do in the next 15 seconds is crucial yet
really simple just take action take the
very first step towards working such as
turning on your PC while you keep
telling yourself that this is the best
option now that your PC is turned on you
might as well keep working
congratulations youve beaten
procrastination now subscribe and go do
