Sprints are really, really useful.
But commitment devices? Brilliant!
Give your friend $100. If you get the task done by 5PM, you get your $100 back. If it doesn't, you lose the $100.

Procrastination is the supreme knowledge of knowing how much time something really takes.
It's a feature, not a bug.
That's true procrastination. High-functioning procrastination knows how to do just enough, just in the nick of time to always make sure things work out.
When you do just enough, just in the nick of time, you also get that adrenaline rush of a deadline approaching.
Good stuff.
