<p>my best thing against tasks I procrastinate: &quot;eat the frog first&quot; - the thing which is the hardest for me, individually (not by priority - just for me, personally) and I sometimes have to really prepare for it setting my desk (mise en place!) and sort my pens by color and have nothing to distract me (chores) and even hibernate my thinkpad with vim open at the right position of the code or with libre office open for the letter to the landlord to open it the next day RIGHT THERE AND THEN START NOW</p>
