ive done a lot of emotional work to make my peace with this the reality that ive come to is   the alternative is i never start or never finish   how i get things done doesnt need to look the way anyone else gets things done so long as its finished i did a good job and i didnt cause anyone else problems  what has helped me a ton is to set a timer for my break instead of just im gonna take a break and leave it up to my brain to realize the break should be over its im gonna take a 15 minute break  start believing that you are somebody worth keeping promises to when that timer goes off you have a choice if you take a second to see the choice you have the chance to say i choose to honor my promise to myself that the break was 15 minutes and now im going back to the task  it doesnt feel that cool in the moment but it feels great at the end of the day when youre not working all night and you finish up feeling good about your work and actually enjoy your reward time
