“notice that what these people want are not those actions themselves, but merely their results.”
Roman Gelperin, Addiction, Procrastination, and Laziness: A Proactive Guide to the Psychology of Motivation

“In that case, one of the worst things he can do is default to a highly pleasurable, entertaining, and useless activity, such as watching TV or playing a videogame. Doing so, if even for just a few minutes, will set a precedent of pleasure from which it’ll be extremely difficult to move on to a more demanding and less pleasurable task.”
Roman Gelperin, Addiction, Procrastination, and Laziness: A Proactive Guide to the Psychology of Motivation

“Without anxiety about fulfilling what others require of him (such as at his job, or in school, or in a family environment), or excitement for gaining someone’s praise (bragging about and showing off his accomplishments, or telling stories of his virtuous deeds), or the other great variety of pleasures and fulfillments that only interpersonal relations can provide, a person will likely find himself utterly dominated by the need to seek pleasure, and quickly default to the lowest and easiest pleasures available to him. A person left in this way to his own devices, and at the unopposed mercy of his pleasure unconscious, will likely be consumed by it—at least for a while, until self-revulsion or some other factor eventually pulls him out of it. And many people who become mired in such a situation, as I have said happened to me, truly do eat themselves (I mean this figuratively, of course).”
