Default Re: Battling Procrastination

I am glad I wasn't the only one offended by his unhelpful remarks.

I wanted to point out that saying "Go do what you need" is an unhelpful response.
Here a couple of situations which I find similar:
-Responding "Just kick the ball so that the goalie can't reach it" to the question "How do I score a goal on a penalty kick?"
-Responding "By solving the integral" to the question "How do I solve this integral?"
-Responding "By running into the endzone without being tackled" to the question "How would I go about to score a touchdown in X situation?"

What I am trying to say (if it isn't clear by now). It is that the thread (to the extent of my knowledge) is about ideas to be able to get rid of procrastination. The answer of that guy that said "By doing what you need to do" is obviously true, but completely unhelpful and in a way insulting. I hope it was meant as a joke and Oski and I just got excited for nothing, but if it wasn't a joke it was a ridiculous post that offered no insight or help.
