“Just do it” sounds like a good strategy on the surface, but I have hard time how it applies to me personally. And connection to fears is making it even more intriguing as if it was about jumping into the lake from a cliff. The reason is: I prefer to think before doing something. And it does not matter if I have a couple of seconds or ten years — elaborating on what you are really going to do pays off. Not sure how boredom got to the same company, but I do not see motivation and laziness as something negative. Yes, it’s true in developed countries there is time for more pleasurable endeavors, plus maybe some meaning of life problems.

So, sorry, I have not understood this. “Just do it” comes by itself, when it becomes meaningful enough, and enough motivation is built up to overcome “laziness”. And even if there are fears to it, “procrastinating” helps to have time to think. Not that I defend all those “vices”, I just want to say they are natural, and healthy in reasonable amounts.

I can still see grounds for applying “Just do it” in some situations, probably, mostly educational ones.
