When a task isn't urgent, it's easy to keep procrastinating. Scheduling a doctor's appointment or dusting your bookshelf can end up sitting on a to-do list for days, even weeks, despite taking only a few minutes to complete. Finishing a task you've been avoiding can boost your mood and increase your happiness immediately, says Vienna Pharaon, a therapist and author of "The Origins of You." "Addressing something you've been ignoring lightens the load and allows you to accomplish something that's been weighing you down," she says. Still, motivating ourselves to actually do some of these tiny to-do's can be challenging.

He's not doing all this out of the kindness of his heart; he's doing it because he wants the credit-card rewards. In a recent poll from Ipsos, 71% of Americans surveyed said they had some sort of rewards, points, or cash-back card, and 80% of those with such a card said they valued their rewards. But maybe we love our credit-card rewards too much, to the point that it's making us act in less-than-ideal ways toward those we hold near and dear. But credit-card rewards are, indeed, making things uncomfortable. I recently booked a fight with a friend who remarked she'd gotten some $300 in travel credit from her rewards card.

Learning how to harness our attention is the "skill of the century," says behavioral design expert Nir Eyal. "The skill of the century is being able to harness your attention," Eyal, an expert in behavioral design, told CNBC Make It. The action of being distracted is often preceded by a feeling of discomfort, or an "internal trigger," says Eyal. "If you don't have time for exercise, time with your family, time with your friends, time for focused work, it's not going to get done," Eyal told CNBC Make It. Instead, he suggests using a "timebox calendar."

If you need more time for your taxes, there's a quick, free way to file a federal tax extension online, according to experts. Luckily, filing for a federal tax extension "takes minutes," according to Tommy Lucas, a certified financial planner and enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Orlando, Florida. But you have through that due date to file an extension, which pushes the deadline by six months to Oct. 15. Some taxpayers already have a federal extension due to natural disaster declarations. Without the extension, your balance triggers the failure to file penalty, which is worth 5% of your unpaid taxes per month or partial month, capped at 25%.

For example, she said a Valentine’s Day-themed heart-shaped box of Sour Patch Kids candy (3.45 oz) was listed on Walmart.com for $3.96 ($1.15 oz), while a regular box of the candy (3.5 oz) costs $1.24 ($0.35/oz). Walmart said it was looking into the price differences, but said some of the Valentine’s Day candy items on its website are listed by third-party sellers on Walmart marketplace. A Walmart supercenter in New Jersey visted by CNN also had the heart-shaped Sour Patch Kids candy box for $3.96 on the shelf. Some Sour Patch Kids Valentine's Day editions cost much more than the regular versions of the candy for roughly the same quantity. “Buy the candy after Valentine’s Day when it’s heavily discounted or buy the regular cheaper version of the candy and package it yourself,” he said.

Solving the Puzzle of Gift Giving
  + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Tim Donnelly | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In 2021, I made my first word puzzle as a gift for my girlfriend for the same reasons many people did things during the pandemic: a lack of cash and an abundance of free time. We quickly ran out of games during long locked-in weekends, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I created puzzles based on our inside jokes and shared language, including one that required unwinding words themed around a “twisted” summer tea we enjoy. I still buy presents, even though I have this newfound crossword-making superpower, but there are some occasions when a puzzle is more than enough. When he kept procrastinating, she decided to try it herself and surprise him with a gift.

She tried to motivate herself but found that waking up early led to fatigue and procrastination. She says that waking up a few hours later sets her up for a more productive day. While I utilize several productivity tools I love, the one I've tried that was the most epic fail was to be a morning person. Knowing this would sabotage my morning, I'd fight the wave of energetic flow to try to get to bed early to start the cycle again. Lately I've noticed I've been waking up even earlier than 7 a.m. here and there.

Ludwig says it is due to a lack of intrinsic motivation, willpower, and fear of failure. "Procrastination is not a time management issue. It's an emotional management issue," says Petr Ludwig, author of The End of Procrastination: How to Stop Postponing and Lead a Fulfilled Life. The result is escaping from the stress and effort of a particular task by doing something you know you shouldn't do. "Self-forgiveness" is a helpful strategy in fighting procrastination, says Ludwig.
