i’ve noticed something weird about myself

when i finally start studying, it’s usually not that bad. sometimes it even goes fine

but the time before starting is horrible. i’ll sit there for like an hour telling myself “just start” and somehow not do it

it’s like my brain turns the first step into something way bigger than it actually is

once i’m in it, it’s manageable. but getting started feels like the hardest part every single time

does anyone else deal with this? what actually helps you get past that first step?
