Sometimes all you need to do to get more done is to not increase your energy levels, but to make what you’re trying to accomplish take less energy than normal.

What’s the minimum that I can do to get the same task done. Do that.

What’s the bare minimal amount of steps that I can take to get the same task done or outcome achieved. Try to stick to that without unnecessarily increasing the amount of steps taken from start to finish by any means necessary. 

When you do so, your reluctance to go for getting such type of tasks done will dramatically diminish.

A huge amount of unnecessary steps gets registered or translated into your brain as overwhelm, even if each of those steps is very easy when done alone.

Everybody tells you to get your energy to peak levels before attempting to go for a huge task or thing you want to do or accomplish at any given day.

No one tells you that the problem with your procrastination is sometimes not your energy levels, but how energy demanding and consuming the task or thing you’re attempting to do or accomplish is, and that even if you have mountains of endless energy, it will still feel overwhelming because of the nature of the task or thing you’re trying to accomplish in and of itself.

The solution in this case might be something outside of the realm of how to have, gain, or generate more energy, but to make the task or thing you’re trying to accomplish take less energy, by any means necessary.
