I've figured out mindset is everything for me which sucks because I've gotten that drilled into me as a kid but figuring out stuff about one self only works if you figure it out yourself. Getting into the mindset needs to be not so obvious. I can't just repeat "I am component, I am smart, I won't postpone". I need to get into a vibe of getting stuff done and I honestly can't explain it better than it being a vibe. Medium energy (not high energy because then I just get a small panic attack) electronica music helps a lot for some reason.
Also small breaks from time to time but I can't set myself a time or I will just keep thinking about the timer.
