Oof, that might be too hard. How about working on your side business for another hour? Hmm, doesnt sound too appealing. Even though you logically know that studying, exercising, building a business, or something equally productive will bring you more benefits in the long run, you still prefer watching tv, playing video games, and scrolling through social media.
