Just train tired

Justin Sung’s D-F-U-Z method for Thought Action Defusion helps to decouple your productivity from your motivation:

  1. Distinguish (between feelings, thoughts, and actions)
  2. Fake (pretend you’re not feeling tired or lazy, even if you are)
  3. Uptime (increasingly spend longer and longer in the thought-action defusion state)
  4. Zone (create a distraction-free environment you can be focused in)
