Procrastination is a way to respond to pain. There are 4 parts The cue to do something The routine and action you carry out. The reward for doing this The belief you can do something, like how you believe "oh, i can do this, its pretty easy" as opposed to "fuck this." I say "fuck this" a crap ton, so remember to take breaks and set deadlines so you remain focused -- pomodoro style Basically, we are lazy and do what is easy -- for example, it is easier to grab chips than cook pasta. For this reason, we can engineer our day to be conducive to work and do just what our laziness leads to. For one thing, will power is a muscle, whether you like it or not, and this is why it gets tired a lot and real quickly, Like doing an insanity workout So remember to focus on the process at hand, such as setting up the necessary variables in an equation (distance = 10 meters, what equation to use, etc), setting up the base construction of a drawing in basic shapes, making another note in the melody... It is important to rewire and not reform but destroy your old habits, such as sitting down, and this can be achieved by reward, not bashing yourself. It is important to change them, because you can go rigjt back into those old habits. Stop working at a given time, for example 5 pm, and this is when you can have a break. Have an orgasm. See if you got likes on twitter (block notifications like i do). Search up that random topic you thought about earlier and wrote down. Speaking of writing down, it is important to keep a planner -- i like using google's remind app ("ok google remind me to search up music theory at evening"). This frees up those 4 spaces you have in your brain, and reduces the amount of wasted willpower. Do this in the evening when you have those thoughts in bed, so that in the morning, you have fresh willpower to be harnessed and not wasted on remembering what to do, what to eat (speaking of, brush your teeth so that you do not eat, especially since fasting can improve BDNF, the chemical of neural growth), etc. Plan out tangible goals for the week -- make 1 song, not an entire album!! That would be overwhelming! Over all, the important part of forming new habits is having deadlines to do something, where you will be rewarded with a break. Do look into pomodoro.
