    The best time to start was 7 days ago, the second best time to start is now.

    I struggle with this as well. If the step is too big I get overwhelmed and procrastinate the task untll panic sets in and fuels me with adrenaline.

    Take a small step towards it without the intention to finish. Put the book out then do something else. Have the intention of just reading for 5 minutes then stop. Allow yourself to be satisfied in taking a step towards the big task.

      Well I used to have that adrenaline but now I’m depressed, and I just can’t do the one night study thing anymore. I’ve already avoided showing up to these end sem exams like 3 times now. I should low key kill myself.
