“ Procrastination by reading random articles does not cause you to rest: You do not regain mental energy from it. Success and happiness cause you to regain willpower; what you need to heal your mind from any damage sustained by working is not inactivity, but reliably solvable problems which reliably deliver experienced jolts of positive reinforcement. ”— Working hurts less than procrastinating, we fear the twinge of starting – Eliezer Yudkowsky @ Less Wrong

“ The fear that often keeps people from public speaking, talking to strangers, interviewing for jobs, etc. is typically driven by fear of embarrassment, humiliation, rejection, criticism, etc – that's ego-fear.— Paul Buchheit: Serendipity finds you
Fear is defeated by confrontation – avoidance only makes it stronger. Seek ego-fear. Hunt it down and soak in it. Steal its energy. This is, by definition, scary. That's good. ”

“ People you deal with who take forever to make a decision [are] the worst enemies for entrepreneurs. ... Once you spotted [a non-decision maker], avoid him at any cost. ... On the other hand, everytime you meet anyone who is making even the slightest decisions about your product (like tweeting about it, registering, sending you an email… anything), you have to be very very responsive. ”— Superfeedr Blog : The Non-Decision makers
