I like that you have a category called “butt in chair” and wonder if all the tips in the articles you link to couldn’t be summarized by phrases found in your tags!
@Lydia “Butt in chair” is one of my favorite categories. I read about that phrase a couple years ago, and it’s the perfect phrase for procrastinators!
Excellent roundup
