It's normal for some people. I've tried everything. Two things finally helped me: understanding, and that one neat trick. Understanding: Understanding yourself is important later, but for now, it helps if you understand procrastination. https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_inside_the_mind_of_a_master_procrastinator/ https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_inside_the_mind_of_a_mas... That one neat trick? Just do one. One push up, one minute of meditation, one minute of work. Setting yourself up for failure will never work. Setting the bar really low is the only thing that let me achieve anything. I can do one minute of work. It's easy. I very rarely stop after 60 seconds, but sometimes I really just ain't in the mood. Most of the time, I just keep going. If I lose focus, I say, ok one more minute then I can do something else. Who has time for 100 pushups a day? Nobody. Who doesn't have time for 1 pushup? It's literally like 10 seconds of hard work unless you think about it for longer (why?) The one neat trick is more about "just starting" than anything else. Working is easy, starting is hard. The biggest issue with most motivation techniques is they assume you have already started. What you need to do is reduce any and all friction from starting. If starting seems daunting or too hard, you're planning to do too much. Reduce the act of starting to it's simplest form if you have to. Ive had days where my task was to sit down at my desk. That's all I had to do before I could tell myself "job done." I wasn't going to get much done on that sort of day anyway but at least I didnt beat my self up about it. That last point is where understanding yourself and acceptance really starts to play a role.
