Well I feel the same, but for me what is working this days is to set a mental timer for it, I'll say "For the next 30 minutes I'll focouse all on this" and it does not mean I will finish it but at least I worked a bit on it and feel less anxious about the progress, little by little you will finish it!

Not only carving out specific times for your tasks but also! ----- (!And this was a game changer for me!) ------ set a stopwatch each time you get distracted and stop it when you resume working - try to get that number smaller and smaller as you work throughout the day!

when the work just seems too big and bad. my therapist told me to do this and it was the only way i actually got myself to finish a project that i had been avoiding and building up in my head.
i spent the first 15 minute session with just the goal of writing out my to-do list, and by the end of that i realized that it wasn’t that big of a list after all. so then i did another 15 min, and another. and even though overall i only ended up working less than an hour on the project, it felt great bc i still worked 3x longer than i set out to!! and it felt so much more manageable getting back to it the next day!

1. (You’ve heard it before, but it’s critical) Set time goals, not accomplishment goals. If I tell myself: ”I’ll get this project done before noon!”
and then I don’t, I get disheartened. But, if I say: I’ll do 2 hours before 10am, thats easy!
2. Just break off that first layer of work. Idk what your job is but like for example: simply import the footage. put in one little chunk of data into excel. code 16 lines (is that a lot?) carve one peg. draw just the outline, etc, etc. you get the idea. For me, just getting one tiny part done puts into perspective how fast I could do it, and that helps a lot

I've been painting with markers, random drawings inspired by images, but everything with markers and outlines of black pen.

I recommend Lisbon because is the capital, and you also have nice beaches there and many good spots to absorb the culture (one of my fav spots is a chill bar with a lot of vintages collection on the walls called “pavilhao chines“ to enter you have to ring the bell or wait for someone to come out) if you had more time I would also recommend Porto (is where I’m from) it has a lot of beautiful spots as well!
