This, this, 1000% this. And if I do somehow manage to start, I can NOT stop. None of this "do x for y minutes, take z minute break, then go back to doing x." If I stop, I don't know when I'll be able to start again. Which then feeds back into the "overwhelming" loop.

My brain is not kind to me.

Oh yeah the "go for x, break for y, then go again" thing never works for me unless it's go for hours with headphones on, then break in a specific manner for 10-15 minutes, then go again. Then maybe I'll be able to finish properly.

It shouldn't feel like we have to fight our brains to get shit done but I swear half the time it feels like I have to enter the Goddamned Konami Code just to get my shit done lol.
