Im sorry if this was asked before, but i attempted to search and my search yielded various results, including query too long.

So, I get all hyped up and know that "this is what i have to do, and that, and that as well", but when its time to sit down to actually "do the hard work" my mind just goes blank. its like the moment i open my laptop, im practically frozen, completely forgot the details of what i have to do, and have a strong urge to just do other fun things. Even if i make notes, i stare at them and wonder what exactly i meant by what i wrote or how i planned to tackle a certain task. This has a tendency to fade away virtually immediately when i step away from attempting to do the hard work! Its quite annoying to be honest.

I'm thinking it may be dopamine/instant gratification related. Maybe a dopamine detox could help i guess
