One way I get round this is make lists (I use clear for mac because it is so simple. Otherwise I end up procrastinating making overly complex plans in JIRA etc).
Firstly make a list of all the tasks. Then of the big task you're putting off, split it into loads of small component tasks. Smaller the better - even if it is is 'make a GitHub repo'.
I then find that I do the first small component tasks and after marking them off start ploughing through the rest of the stuff.
- ak39 11y agoI'd add to this excellent suggestion which has worked for me: If we complete things that are not on the list, go note it on the list even though you've done it. I get frustrated whenever I end up doing things that are not on my list which throws everything out of kilter and I stop doing my list ... which is a disaster. So I found that I feel better whenever I add a completed item to my list. :-) The lengths we go to trick our mind.
