Procrastination doesn’t cancel the work. It just moves it to a worse night.

Putting something off does not reduce the amount of it. It relocates the work to a night with less time, less energy and no room for anything going wrong, and what you hand in is whatever can be produced under those conditions. The relief you feel now is a loan taken out against a Sunday evening.

Open the thing you are avoiding and give it ten minutes on the first concrete step, which is usually working out what it actually asks for. Stop after that if you want to. Most of the weight sits in not having started.
