it's so annoying that i'm totally aware but still unable to trick myself into starting
Literally the only thing that ever worked for me before I got medicated was trying to pick the smallest possible task or amount of time I would be okay with. “Okay I don’t want to clean my room, but I think I have it in me to throw away these three pieces of garbage on my desk” or “I think I have it in me to clean for 5 minutes”.
Sometimes I’d just do that and then quit, but sometimes I’d do it and then continue.
The starting is the hardest part for me as well. Thank god I can usually cruise once I overcome that hurdle, but only with meds.
