These are great hints! Do you have a list of them that I can download? In my case, I start a brainless audio book and then I can do things while I listen. I can’t even get dressed without an audiobook. But it can’t be something where my brain needs to be engaged.

This episode helped me sooooo much the other day when I was stuck.

I set up whatever I need to do the task so I can just jump right in when I do start it. I might have several tasks all staged to start, but when I do start it’s quick and easy to get into the flow, no stopping to get a pencil or other item. It works well when I’ve got a big task that takes more than a day to stage things for starting the next day, even if I could easily do it right now. It makes jumping right into the flow when I come back to it. And surprisingly, a nootropic called Cognizin (citicoline) is helping remove the angst that is contributing to my mental roadblocks.
