The best way to prevent yourself from doing something is to make it a 

thing

.

Make sure you pump yourself up about the thing, and go research how other people who are the best at the thing do the thing. This way you can focus all your energy on pointless things that actually have nothing to do with the thing and so you won't actually need to do it.

Let's say you're trying to get into 

Writing

. Then you should research how your favorite writers write... scratch that... you should research even further. Figure out what tools they use, which coffee they drink, and what time they go to bed and wake up, what kind of mattress they sleep on.

And then instead of writing you should go and make sure you have the same notebook they use. Buy the same pens, and download the same software. Then you'll be on the fast track to doing nothing until one day you get bored of the 'thing' because you were never doing it all along. But don't worry, something else will beckon you. You'll see someone on 

TikTok

talk about how they make millions doing another 'thing' and you can just go through the cycle all over again.

After a few of those cycles you'll come to the end of your life and you'll be dead. Then there'll be no more things you have to do, so rest assured, it'll soon be over.
