Do everything recommended above, then....

Get up and say, "I'm just gonna do this for 10 minutes." And mean it. Ususally if you plan an hour or more it's impossible, but what's a few minutes? Before you know it you're in the groove and don't need to stop. But you could, if you wanted/needed to. That mindset shift makes all the difference.

START FOR JUST FIVE MINUTES

for anything I want to procrastinate on, the best strategy for me has been sitting down and only having the obligation to do it for five minutes. if the five minutes are over and I still don't want to, I can stop. but 80% of the time, I usually have more I want to do way past the five minute mark! and even if I didn't want to do anything else past timer going off, I can still say I tried!
works best without distractions though. you can listen to music or watch something but try not to make picking the perfect background thing a part of the five minutes or anything

unfortunately orginization actually works

set a timer for yourself to do the thing you've been procrastinating for five minutes. then work up to 10, 15, etc.
i often feel way better after I Do The Thing. the procrastination part is usually just dreading getting started, but once you do the task tends to go by quickly, esp if you put on music or a TV show in the background. calling a friend or just having them in the room to body double is helpful as well if you are of the ADHD persuasion.
i totally understand the fear of failure though - i often let wanting things to be "perfect" get in the way of "good enough". not that you should half-ass things, but go a little easier on yourself. i'm sure whatever project you're working on will turn out 10X better than you think it will. best of luck xx

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
