I have two speeds: 0% and 100%. I will procrastinate for a long time but once I do start something I work on it constantly until it's finished. I don't like long term projects for this reason.

I use to fall asleep to a hypnotism tape nightly as a teenager. I couldn't sleep normally so I would go to sleep listening to "The Power of Sales" hypnotism tape. I still have trouble sleeping but gave up on hypnotism long ago.
Before long I found that I was selling a lot of things. It convinced me that I loved selling things and helped me become successful at it even though I was only trying to fall asleep. In my heyday as a junior in high school I carried 3 kinds of soda, 2 kinds of chewing gum, an assortment of candy bars, and a bunch of cooking extracts in my school bag. I was making a killing too.
Soda cost was $0.18/can. Sold for $1.00-$2.00/can. There was a vending machine at $0.50/can but I carried different varieties.
Chewing gum cost was $0.05/stick but I sold it for $0.50-$1.00/stick.
Bubble gum cost was $0.11/piece but I sold it for $2.00-$5.00/piece.
Cooking extracts were $0.25/each and I sold them for $5.00-$10.00/each.
I made between $50 and $100 profit per day. The extracts were the real booming buisiness because they were high percentage alcohol, up to 196 proof for peppermint. lol.

All during high school I used my locker to sell my stuff. I had sodas, pop-tarts, candy, chips... hell, I even had about 5-6 hooded sweatshirts I would rent out.
