You're doing great! Just remember, if you can do something, you can do anything... except, actually, you can't. So, let's just focus on thinking about doing it instead.
Take a few hours to consider the pros and cons, the risks and benefits, and the potential consequences of your actions. This will guarantee that you'll never actually start the task.
For example, let's say you're writing a paper, but you're not sure where to start. You could spend 4 hours reading academic papers, researching, and taking copious notes. This will ensure that you have a solid foundation, but you'll never finish the paper.
Make a list of tasks that you need to do before you start the real task. This will guarantee that you'll never actually start the task, but you'll have a nice, tidy list to cross off.
For example, let's say you need to write a paper. You might start with a list like this:
And so on, and so on... ad infinitum!
Take a break, not just one break, but five breaks! You can watch cat videos, check your email, or play some video games. This will ensure that you're well-rested and ready to start the task... in 4 hours, or never.
