1. BECOME RELAXED: Take care of the fundamental issues in your life, health, finances, burnout, or whatever else might be preventing you from being relaxed enough to focus your mind. Eat, sleep, and exercise well. Consider this an absolute prerequisite and don't feel guilty about it. 2. FIND MOTIVATION: Get excited about why you started in the first place. Go over the plan from scratch with a co-founder, talk to users, visualize the end goal, use the product, or do whatever it takes to get back some of the initial excitement. 3. BUILD MOMENTUM: Be as self-indulgent as necessary at first. Don't worry about doing the highest priority tasks, just get going. Do whatever part of the project seems most fun/easy/interesting, however trivial. Do whatever it takes to start building back your speed. Once you're at speed, the hard stuff won't be so hard. Now you're relaxed, motivated, and have momentum so it's full steam ahead! Fall off the wagon for some reason? Don't waste time feeling bad, just accept it. Then repeat steps 1-3.
