    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.

    Procrastination

    And how can I make it stop?

    Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

    Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

    This is how I end up suddenly getting the gumption to do chores at 3 in the morning.

    Replace "9" with "tomorrow".
