Oliver Burkeman Quotes About Thoughts And Emotions

• Who says you need to wait until you 'feel like' doing something in order to start doing it? The problem, from this perspective, isn't that you don't feel motivated; it's that you imagine you need to feel motivated.

You can coexist with it. You can note the procrastinatory feelings and act anyway.
