I'm guessing that this is not a disorder, because if it is, then we all have it. Every programmer has trouble sitting down to code at certain times. You say that when you are not at your computer you think about how to code it. Why not keep a paper notebook with you and write down how you think you are going to code it? Or keep a laptop with you and boot it up and start coding when you get excited thinking about it? Later on, when you want to jump start your programming process, read through the notebook and let yourself get into the mental state you were in when you were excited about it. (Also, unplug the internet). In my experience, coding isn't as easy as 'making' yourself code (unless you are typing boilerplate or doing copy/paste coding). You have to either take advantage of the times that you are excited and want to code, or you have to coax yourself into that mental state. It is just like creative writing. Most good writers do not sit at a desk with a blank piece of paper and just start writing. They make notebooks and journals and they write down ideas as they come. Later when they do have to write, they have all of these cues to start the creative process. For me, at least, this is roughly equivalent to "writer's block," so you may want to read some literature on that.
