Start with something easy.

Plan bigger things and break it into smaller tasks.

Get the right equipment to do this.

No that pen won't do get another one.

Ugh let's look through reviews of ebook notepads.

Look forever to buy one for an acceptable price.

Start taking notes.

Never get anything done.

Think about a reason to hate yourself. Being hollow and empty is a good way to create space to fill the time doing everything that needs to be done.

I vaped weed in the afternoon during business hours a few times when I was absolutely not getting shit done. A lot of the time it shook up my mental context well enough that I actually got started on the thing. Not always though, and generally this is just plain bad advice, especially if you're not working a knowledge job like tech work

Go a direction backed up with facts. I know this because of this this and this. Things you know. Doesn't matter where, just what you know. Saying this as I struggled trying to get out of high school in 1995. Be proud of what you know and be humble about what you don't. Facts are your friend. You make them work better than most.

I don't have any hacks, my brain kind of just flips back on to what I'm supposed to be doing after a few minutes any time I get onto a train of thought
