And also inertia, I found a simple trick that gets me into a quasi-flow state zone, which is telling myself that I will just do it for ten minutes. Then I don't have to analyze and do the inner talking for another ten minutes. Also, don't try to automate just now, try to do it few times, then write down the steps, and selectively automate them. It's actually a good way to train yourself to live with boredom. We tend to find hyper stimulus, that's how we were wired. And we waste a lot of energy not in doing the chores but worrying about them. It occurrred to me that someone once said that learning math and other subjects in school is training yourself to do the mental chores. And patience is such a rare thing to have in this constantly attention-grabbing society. A balance check is important, do give yourself something else to do when you leave the work.
