  • On self bans because you're not studying/spending time with your girl/working:

    [QUOTE=some dude]Hi,

    Great site. Too great, I'm not getting any work done. Could you please ban me from the site for a month?

    Thanks!

    It doesn't help.

    Everyone I ban like this procrastinates in a different way and ends up creating aliases.

    I cannot ban you to help you focus.

    Read things like this instead:

    And try things like this:

    As much as it's harsh my response to people nowadays is: You have to take responsibility for not getting things done and stop blaming externalities.

    Because I could ban you, but until you take responsibility about your procrastination then you'll evade the ban anyway or procrastinate in a different way. It's all futile until you change, at which point I don't need to ban you.

    Either way... me banning you achieves nothing.

    Good luck.

    I am no longer banning people who don't have the discipline to focus. It's your problem, not mine.
