Procrastination

I've been having a hard time telling myself to carry out things listed on my schedule. And yes, I made the schedule. Yet I need a motive that's strong enough for all the time to push me forward, and I've realized that if I allow some time to digest an intense sensation, the feeling will abate and in the end I will just accept it. And that was the typical history of my motivation; it forms, and it gradually dies out. I guess it would have to be intense enough to go over certain threshold in order to be sustained. I also read from somewhere that we could spend only 20% of our time with best attention/focus to complete 80% of our daily work. Same logic applies, we could also spend 80% of our time not focused to complete only 20% of our daily work. I haven't checked the statistics of it, but it does leave a strong impression.
