  • Summary: how to get things done

    Here's a summary of the main conclusions from all the studies discussed:
    1. To avoid procrastinating on a task, focus on its details and use self-imposed deadlines.
    2. To stick to a task, while actually carrying it out, now it is beneficial to keep the ultimate, abstract goal in mind.
    3. When evaluating progress on a hard task, when the chance of failure is high, stay focused on the details of the task.
    4. Once tasks are easier or the end is in sight, a more abstract, goal focus is once again the psychological approach to choose.
