      Since I switched to quartertime I quadrupeld my procrastination productivity.

      Not done at 6? Instead of not doing it at 7 i’ll now not doing it at 6:15, 6:30 and 6:45, too.

      You’re procrastinating because you have some anxiety based on overestimation of the effort that the task will require and underestimation fo the pain that it will be to rush it at last minute. To prevent your brain from going wild, split into little easy tasks, start with something that seems pleasant or easy to do in 5 min and you may manage to focus for longer, or take a break and set another 5 min task. You can also add some reward, like I’ll eat this chocolate cookie or watch this cool video after I have completed this much.

    get an analog watch/clock. It’s amazing. For real you don’t know what you’re missing until you have one

          I like big clocks and I cannot lie, all you other brothers can’t deny

          When a clock walks in with an itty-bitty bezel and a long minute hand you get sprung!

      So you don’t know what time it is and never feel guilty about procrastinating?

        The opposite, I can at a glance tell how much time has passed and how much time I have left in a very visual way. The hands are a much easier way to interpret passage of time than some digits. And like the OP points out, it doesnt really matter if its 6:00 or 6:05, but I can see how much I’ve already procrastinated and how much I have left to do The Thing.

        I’m genuinely suggesting this, it has made a difference for me.

          Will analog watches soon be like VHS tapes and cursive handwriting?

          I’ve been using mine wrong, I use my analog watch as a mouse bed so I won’t appear away in teams. Lol
