“I’m a Chronic Procrastinator and I Finally Found a Fix.” His 3 Tricks Went Viral. The Third Costs Less Than a Coffee.
A man posted online that he couldn’t start anything. Not his math. Not his code. He’d sit down, and his brain would just say no.
Then he posted the three tricks that fixed it. Thousands of people saved the post. The first two are free. The third is the one everyone kept asking about.
He calls it “boredom torture.” Before he works, he sits at his desk and stares at the wall. No phone. No music. Two to three minutes of nothing. Five to ten minutes if you want to take it really far.
Here’s why it works. Your brain won’t jump from fun videos straight into hard work. The gap is too big. But after a few minutes of a blank wall, hard work looks like the fun option. His words: you have to go from boredom to work, never from your phone to work.
A race horse wears little cups by its eyes. The cups block the sides, so the horse can only see the track ahead.
He built the same thing with a lamp. He works in a dark room with one bright desk lamp aimed at his work. Look away, and there’s only darkness. There is nothing else to see, so his eyes stay on the page.
His last trick was a taste. He chews one strong flavor only when he works, and now that taste flips his brain into work mode.
The comments took it further. There’s a four-part mix that people use for the same switch. A small dose of caffeine, less than half a cup of coffee. L-theanine, the calm stuff in green tea. Theobromine, the gentle lift in dark chocolate. And saffron, the golden spice, the part people take to feel good.
Here’s the problem. Buying those four as pills means four bottles, four doses to get right, and a lot of money every month. Almost nobody keeps that up.
And he found one company that had already done it. They pressed all four into one small mint. It’s called WITS. You put one under your tongue and it melts. Because it melts in your mouth, it doesn’t wait on your stomach. You feel the focus come on in minutes, and it comes on calm and happy, not jumpy.
It’s the taste trick and the brain mix in one move. Tins keep selling out, and people reorder before they run out.
One mint. Focus in minutes.
