Interesting podcast on prodcrastination - anonymouse1 - 02-16-2021

I think Nir Eyal is smart and insightful (although a bit of a weasel) He writes a lot about behavior.
I've picked up three interesting points so far:
1. Procrastination comes not from external distractions, but from internal discomfort. Learning how to manage uncomfortable emotions is very helpful. He compares it with sneezing: you can't control either, but you can control how you respond. He compares it with sneezing on everyone around you (unmanaged) to sneezing into youre elbow/tissue).
2. Set up your environment to reduce negative triggers, and increase positive triggers.
3. Once a week, sit down with your boss, and share your schedule, for about 15 minutes: "Here's what I'm doing with these blocks of time, and here's what I'm doing with those blocks of time." He says that bosses don't want to be micro-managing, but are eager to know what their reports are doing, and to offer advice. (I think this is brilliant).
