Yes.
As others have mentioned, taking a step back and trying to have in mind the end goal help me get on track. I also try to break the task in smaller steps, either mentally or on a notepad, where I outline the steps I have in mind.
I noticed that it usually happens to me when I'm overwhelmed with the task.
- asdfman123 7y agoYep, I have a similar procrastination issue. For me the most helpful mantra is "What's the smallest thing I can do right now?" I have no idea how I'm going to rebuild this whole front end in Vue, but I can send a quick email to someone asking them to clarify something, or I can update the text on a single button. It sounds trivial but if you do that enough times your brain goes "Oh, I guess we're working now" and you get that crucial momentum going.
- NortySpock 7y agoI agree, I also ask this question in the form of "What can I do to move the ball forward?" or "If I'm stumped, who can I ask and what information might they need to solve the problem?" TODO list breakdowns are great for this.
