The Best Protocol For Defeating Procrastination and Laziness

A step by step guide.

A few months ago, I published one of my most successful articles to date, The Best Protocol for Quitting P*rn. It was a practical, step-by-step guide to help any man release himself from the grip of lust and sexual immorality.

Without further ado, here’s the protocol:
