The below activities must forever remain on your NOT-TO-DO LIST. These are the total time wasters that pollute your schedule and delay the realization of your big vision. Keep in mind that each time you say yes to a no-value task, you say no to a very important activity. To reach the $100k threshold, you must kill your no-value activities FAST.
You KNOW deep down that you shouldn’t do this; and you even know what you should be doing instead. Acrasy is when you know what you have to do BUT you do something else. You’re sabotaging your own decision when you act against your own better judgment. Acrasy, or lack of self-control, is the mother of procrastination. But for some reason, people talk about the effect (procrastination) and not about the cause (acrasy).

Now, if YOU aren’t in control of your own actions, who is? If you work with me personally, I help you answer this question on a case-by-case basis. For now, here’s a solution: each time you find yourself wandering onto useless websites or doing any unplanned activities, I suggest you sanction yourself by hitting where it hurts: your finances. Give away $10 per minute that you waste, or $5, or $2, but not less because it HAS to hurt. Only then will you come to understand how valuable your time is.
What’s even more important is to WHOM you give the money. It shouldn’t be a charity of your choice. What kind of a sanction is that? If anything, that would constitute a reward. Instead, you should give this to an organization that you DESPISE. That’s how you sanction yourself. You can’t feel any worse than when helping people who you’d rather see fade into irrelevancy. But you must commit to it, no matter how painful it is, because it’s this pain which will prevent you committing further breaches. I can tell you that in applying this technique, I myself stay focused on my initial plan … down to the T. It’s like in chess, when a threat is so intimidating that it forces you to change your behavior, without even needing to execute the impending move. This sheer threat (having to finance an organization you despise) will force you to take a backward step to avoid the consequences.
Now that’s radical.
