Get Yourself to Do Things: The Self-Command and Self-Doubt Bundle
Do you know what you want to do, have been meaning to do it, but years are passing and you still haven't done it?
If someone wants to write, or code, or draw, but isn't doing it, that is not a writing, or coding, or drawing problem. That can't be solved by learning more about those skills. This is a different, more fundamental how to get ourselves to do what we mean to do.
I've spent years professionally helping people overcome that. This two book bundle gathers my best advice and examples so you'll be able to solve it, too.
The first book of the two included, Self-Command, provides techniques and ways to reframe thoughts to counter indecision, distraction, stress, and perfectionism.
This was developed from years of training game developers and making online content. It's general enough for most passion projects, a side business, or even setting aside time for self-care.
It is a practical, grounded, sustainable approach to beat procrastination so you'll regain control to steer your actions. You'll better cut through noise, change your situation, try new hobbies, hone your skills, and update habits.
Self-Doubt, the second book included, evolved from working with people using Self-Command. It adds simple troubleshooting to break mental locks that prevented people from applying Self-Command's methods to new skills. Distilled from dozens of real training conversations, and tested with people using the material, this will equip you to take apart reasons that stop people from starting new things.
Both books were originally self-published, and have been used by thousands of people who struggled with starting, focusing, and following through.
Try it today to untangle the knots that have stopped you from doing the things that you mean to do, so you can become the person you mean to be.
"I was a person who would sit and internally debate about what I need to do next... By applying Chris' method I have been dramatically more productive. But most importantly I now enjoy my downtime without the stress/anxiety of something needing to be done... This book will give you the tools to get on track and be in control of your time."

"Ever since I started Self-Command, I get so much more done in a day than ever before, with less unintended side tracking. I'm so very grateful for Chris' wonderful work. I highly recommend it."
-Sang Nguyen
"I have diagnosed ADHD, so it's always hard to make decisions about how I should be spending my time. Self-Command gave me new tools to help cut through the noise and spend more of my time on things that matter."
-@Spriteborne
"It's been a stressful couple of years... I've been more distractible, less focused, and either unproductive, or else diligently working on the wrong things... I'm not big on self-help books, or rigorous GTD [Getting Things Done] mechanisms. But this one has really clicked with me... Chris DeLeon's Self-Command is a very straightforward and humane system for staying on task and remaining productive in the face of distraction, stress, or ambiguity. If you find yourself doom scrolling, thrashing around unproductively, or unable to get started on those big projects... buy it and get started. I saw real results from the second day after starting it."
-Jonathan Hartley
"Several years after listening to Self-Command, Chris’ whiteboard technique continues to be central to my daily productivity. Having already been a bit of a nerd for productivity hacks and techniques, I found the techniques and mindsets Chris discusses to be really fresh and incredibly practical."
-Praneil Kamat
"As a mid 30's career changer, [Self-Doubt] addressed deep seated fears I have but didn't really want to articulate. I thought this was great! A lot of value added for me... this is an easy recommendation I'd make to others as an addendum or expansion pack for Self-Command."
