Hi there,

As Dez said, opposite action is the best way to combat this! If you find that you're struggling with that, perhaps you can use things such as YouTube videos as rewards for doing the opposite of what your brain wants you to do. For instance, if you get out of bed and do something productive for 1 hour, reward yourself with 15 minutes of YouTube. Be sure to set a timer so you don't go beyond that. Then, repeat the cycle. It may also be helpful for you to think of what you want to do in your next 1 hour burst of productivity to keep you on track.

Finding an accountability buddy can also be extremely helpful. Perhaps you can ask a friend or family member to hold you accountable for the things you know you need to do. Reaching out with a text letting them know what you need to be accountable for may help give you motivation to complete the task, as someone will be waiting for confirmation that you did it. You can even try scheduling a date to have a phone call or texting spree as you're doing the task, which gives your accountability buddy the opportunity to help keep you motivated and on target to finish your task.

Take care,
Sam
