Like, when people suggest using urgency to make tasks more interesting, I'm pretty sure they don't mean creating urgency by telling yourself "if you don't get this done today, you're dumb and a failure" over and over again in your head.
I don't know how to instill a sense of urgency in a way that is believable to my brain. It's not urgent if I need to lie to myself about how urgent it is. It kind of demonstrates the opposite, actually.
