I'm probably fully-in for about 8 hours a month. Half that time it's just raw fear of failure, of not delivering, of having to work, hard, now, or else. The other half is just seizing upon interesting work & entering into that space where my will really is behind making it go. Being fully-in is hard, but I spend a lot of time at 50-80% in. I did some leetcode for the first time in a couple years the other night & was surprised to find it become 4:00AM on me. Tight reward cycle, that: make. it. go.! A general producitvity hack is to commit yourself to making a commit every day. It can be shit, bad, barely do anything, and if you want you can rebase it away latter. But commmit, every day, to starting & doing something: commit to comitting. Get on the board that day, show up, even on your bad days. Starting is often the hardest part.
