Does anyone know a name for the condition described by the parent post? (i.e. Getting started is the main problem; this sometimes makes complex tasks seem insurmountable or like you can't do them.)
It would be useful to read more about this on other websites.
- dan00 16y agoThe parent post isn't only about the 'getting started problem'. It's about accepting your unproductive days without forcing you to try nevertheless. About the 'getting started problem', there's the german term 'Handlungs- und Lageorientierung'. People with the personality trait 'Lageorientierung' are very focused on the current emotions. If they currently don't feel doing something, then they don't start doing it. If you nevertheless of your feelings start doing something, and then feel the enjoyment, then the friction decreases, you're just doing it. You need the initial force to get started.
