I read an article maybe a year ago about a technique that partially involves visualization to overcome procrastination.

The example given in the article was cleaning your desk. Basically, you sit there at your messy desk, and imagine a couple things in a certain order, and all of a sudden you actually WANT to clean your desk.

I can't remember where I found this, but it worked. It may have been a video, not an article.

My son really needs it, and I appreciate anyone who could point me to it.

Thanks!

That's a good one! Unfortunately, it's not the technique I'm looking for.
