Hard to disagree with that, IMHO Sitzfleisch is akin to exposure therapy. But, in practice both items require having a deeper understanding of where the difficulty comes from. Instead of brute-forcing the problem (and sometimes setting up yourself for failure), it might better to develop tools that work you as an individual.
For instance, sometimes for me procrastination or avoidance can be a signal that I haven't been taking care of myself outside of work OR that deep down I just don't give shit about the project, but can't admit that to myself so just end up more frustrated. In this case leaving the house for 15 minutes or petting my dog works better than Sitzfleisch (cliche I know). Again, that's not always the case, but I think spotting those signals and making the appropriate choices is a muscle we develop through practice.
