I’ve been trying to break my habit of putting things off until the last possible minute, and I recently came across the “Get It Done” method. Basically, you break tasks into very small pieces and knock them out immediately instead of waiting. Sounds great in theory, but I’m wondering if anyone’s actually had long-term success with it. I always seem to start strong for a few days, then I slide back into old habits. Curious if this is just me or if the method itself has limitations.

I’ve used “Get It Done” alongside a few other tools, and I think the key is not just the size of the task but the way you mentally commit to it. When I tried to do it without tracking my progress, I lost momentum quickly. But when I paired it with an app that reminded me to check in with myself emotionally, I stuck with it for much longer. A good example is in this Liven review I read: liven reviews — they talk about combining mood tracking with action planning. It sounds small, but I realized that my procrastination often kicked in when I was stressed or tired, not just “lazy.” Once I started noting my mood, I could predict when I’d avoid tasks and pre-emptively adjust. Honestly, the method works, but only if you tie it into some self-awareness.
