- koheripbal 4y agoFor me, I visualize myself doing the work. Thinking about working for long enough reduces the mental barrier to actually doing it. The problem is often distraction, so turn off your screens and just think about the work you're not doing. Not the consequences of not doing it - the actual doing of the work. It works.
- bergenty 4y agoI have a weird form of procrastination where I can’t get myself to read/watch content I consider myself an expert on. Probably something along the lines of it will prove I’m not an expert on the subject or something. So I compensate by telling people I’m not good at said thing. It probably comes off as self deprecation but it really isn’t.
- pas 4y agoDid you start getting into that topic/field as a hobby/passion and now it's just work? Initially IT was just fun and games (for many people literally, just LAN parties, endless crazy things on IRC), then script kiddies grow up and have to prepare for meetings and review proposed standards :o
