I also struggle with similar issues. There's plenty of techniques and thoughts to be had. One of the is to manage your expectations: do they correspond to reality? Are you expecting something that just isn't possible? This can cause unecessary friction and worsen the situation.

Maybe commit to doing a certain task progress for at least a certain time, say 1 hour (or even just 15min) every day. Embrace imperfection!
