Using others for working discipline

I'm gonna do a quick entry on this, as todays orders are printing. I'm up at 9AM, even though I didn't hit bed until 3AM. For me, getting up under those circumstances is an act of will that is more or less impossible. If I tell myself this...

Tomorrow, I will go up at 8AM, even though I will be extremely tired.

I'm simply not going to get up. The feelings of tiredness are way too powerful. However, I do have one feeling that is very strong in me, and many others: Sense of duty. I.e. feeling very strongly about your commitments towards others.

Thus, I have a friend (or associate, if your will) of mine coming over in 15 minutes to do work with me. It's not absolutely necessary to do this work in pairs. It's a bit faster, but that is not hte point. The point is that it makes me go up in the morning. It makes me commit to a time where I'm definetly working. It's a very simple and efficient means to achieve high, maintained productivity. Consider teaming up with another person and working on the same place at the same time each day. If you're anything like me, it will kill procrastrination with swift efficiency.
