"You wouldn't be wasting those 120 minutes on stuff that wasn't making you happy; you'd replace that stuff with other stuff that made you happy. Pretty straight forward."
As a talented procastinator who is occasionally lazy, this is not always the case for me. Many times I will spend my time doing things that make me happier in the short term but less satisfied in the long term. Articles like this do a good job of motivating me.

I am the worst procrastinator ever so I know where you're coming from. However, procrastinating / being lazy occasionally doesn't change the fact that I know what I should be doing. All the article motivated me to do was rant about the article ;)
