You keep calling it procrastination.
But what’s really happening is simpler.
You hit resistance.
You hesitate.
You start negotiating.
And the negotiation always ends the same way - you don’t start.
Because in the moment, you don’t have a script.
So you default to comfort.
The fix isn’t “try harder.”
It’s removing decision-making from the stall point.
If you wait until you feel ready, you’re already late.
Ready is a reward for motion, not a prerequisite.
Here’s the belief you need to kill:
“I’ll start when I know exactly what to do.”
No.
You start to find out what to do.
Micro-story:
I used to lose 45 minutes every morning “ramping up.”
Coffee. Tabs. Notes. Re-reading. Tiny tasks.
Anything except the real thing.
I wasn’t lazy.
I was un-scripted.
So I wrote if-then rules for the exact moments I stall.
Not inspiration. Instructions.
The next morning, resistance showed up.
And I didn’t argue with it.
I ran the rule.
Five minutes later, I was in motion.
Here’s the copy/paste template:
One sauce sample (so you see how this works):
If I feel the urge to “prep more,” then I start a 5-minute ugly draft immediately.
You’ll install these in 10 minutes, then use them daily for the next 7 days.
Stop consuming. Start executing.
