perfectionism. learn the art of "good enough".

at least that was it for me. since i messed up the start time, i screwed up and can't do it perfectly gotta start over again at a new start time. that was the mental process. once i figured out good enough, I'd sit down at 8ish (or whenever, following the meme), not start writing immediately, sip my tea/coffee, turn on the music, set an alarm to remind me to take a break so i wouldn't have to keep looking at the clock, then start writing/working/whatever.

that's my process at least. we all gotta figure out what works for us individually.
