Solve Procrastination

Understanding:

Your procrastination seems driven by thoughts like 'This is too big and overwhelming' combined with anxiety about the quality of your work. This creates a cycle where the task feels impossible, leading to avoidance, which then increases the pressure.

Cognitive Strategies:

• •Challenge the 'all-or-nothing' thinking by recognizing that writing something imperfect is better than writing nothing
• •Break down the overwhelming 'thesis chapter' into specific, smaller parts like 'write one paragraph introduction'
• •Question the evidence for 'I can't do this' by remembering past successful projects you've completed

Behavioral Strategies:

• •Use the 'two-minute rule' - commit to just two minutes of work to overcome initial resistance
• •Schedule a specific, short time slot (30 minutes) for thesis work rather than leaving it open-ended
• •Start with the easiest or most interesting section rather than forcing yourself to write in order

Motivational Insight:

Remember that every expert was once a beginner, and your thesis doesn't need to be perfect - it needs to be done. Each small step forward is progress worth celebrating.
