This is a very interesting statement that I've read before.

It is interesting because it deals with the moment you're working and not about the moment you're procrastinating. Because yeah we've all read those articles while procrastinating which gave miracle solution. Never works.

This is a real solution.

It doesn't tell you what to do to stop procrastinating, it tells you how to stop working as not to procrastinate the next day.

It is a lifestyle about knowing WHEN to stop something. And I truly believe it can be applied in a lot of life situations.

When you talk to a girl, don't wait the last minute, when the conversation starts getting boring, to leave. Leave in the middle of a conversation, leave when it's interesting. She will keep a good memory of you in mind and the next time you meet her you guys will be at a peak of exchange.

I think I first read it here on HN actually :)

I think this trick is so great because it's so counter intuitive to a person in the mindset of getting something done. Stopping when you still have momentum seems counter productive, and it is in the short term, but you get more done in the long run.
