How To Beat Procrastination With Temptation Bundling

Ever find yourself putting off important tasks because they feel, well… boring?
Procrastination thrives when we avoid what feels like a chore.
But what if you could actually look forward to getting things done?
That’s where Temptation Bundling comes in.

It’s simple:
→ Pair something you “should do” with something you “wanna do”

By bundling the task you’ve been avoiding with an activity you enjoy, you make it easier to get started.

It gives you a reason to start.
It keeps the task from feeling like a chore.
And it helps you stick with it.
Let’s see how it works:

1.    First, pick the task you’re avoiding.

Maybe it’s responding to emails.
Or doing laundry.
Or prepping for a presentation at work.
Just pick one.

2.    Now, choose a tempting reward.

Think of something you enjoy that you can bundle with the task.

Love podcasts?
→    Listen while folding laundry

Obsessed with your favorite snack?
→    Treat yourself while brainstorming ideas
You get the idea, right?

3.    Now, pair them together.

Make the enjoyable activity only available when you’re doing the task.
For example:
→    Only binge your favorite show while you’re on the treadmill
→    Save your coffee shop visit for when you’re working on that project

Basically, Temptation Bundling uses your brain’s natural craving for rewards to motivate you.
You just tie something fun to something productive.
This way, you’ll stop procrastinating and start making progress.
No more waiting for motivation to magically appear.
Just pair what you want with what you need.
And watch your productivity skyrocket.
