    Discipline isn’t about screaming at yourself to go do something. Try moving your fingers that way. I’d be concerned if it worked. It happens at a much lower level than that, which I can only describe as “just doing it,” in much the same way that you “just” move your fingers.

    I’m saying all this as someone with ADHD, by the way. Part of task avoidance is actually caused by that chunk of your brain screaming at itself to go do the thing, wasting energy that could have been spent on just doing the thing.

    Be an LED, not an incandescent bulb.
