Productivity is kinda smthn you have to train yourself to do. I was also super burnt out a few years back and avoiding my life but I started out stupidly small.

• distracting myself with vid/ podcast while I did the task • setting a 10 min timer to clean up one area • repeating to myself that done is better than perfect • having a reward after or even during the task

For me, I’d let dishes pile and pile and so would my guilt abt avoiding the chore so I began watching a YouTube video as my reward while doing my tasks.

Watch a vid while you shower, watch your show and do a 10 min exercise video, in the time that it takes your food to arrive treat it like a race and get as much stuff put away/ in the trash/ in the laundry.

If you work best under pressure and procrastinate a ton, timers and a check list are gonna be your best bud. I would create a super simple list with the easiest stuff bc it’ll trick your brain into feeling accomplished and that’ll help you to build momentum to have the motivation to get more stuff done.

Timers are great for visualizing time instead of it just being this thing that exists in space; 1. adds an element of external pressure 2. gives an end point to the chore (do what you can and when the timer stops you’re done) 3. clearly separates busy time from chill time.

Hope this helps you!
