    • not very productive, feeling too confident
    • I realized that when I tell myself I‘ll do "just a little bit" there‘s a pleasant emotion, where as the automatic thought of finishing a whole chapter at once leads to no emotion/fear/disconnection
    • so I did that successfully and it helped me to at least start

  2. @now is forever No, but I‘ll research it a bit and order if it fits. I asked a friend and he said it has a calming and focusing effect, sounds good.

    • countdown...
    • worked on it for 1,5h in the morning, then lost focus and after fighting with myself for a few minutes to continue, I left the library
    • Had a long nap, worked out, meditated and so the day passed
    • at night I was in bed and couldn‘t sleep, always with the thought that I will continue in just a moment
    •  I had an emotional mini-breakthrough during the day and saw that it is worth fighting, I remembered that and felt like I knew why I had to study
    • my arms reached out and took the laptop??
    • Finished lots of stuff

  3. @Draconis Chaser Thank you man! Yeah, I did something similar, sneaked in funny sentences, used wordplays and so on, just to keep myself entertained whenever I re-read it? I wish you lots of success with your work!

    • drank coffee again, but in a lower dose, helped at first, but fired back during the day
    • studied for about 3 hours in a loud environment and with all the pressure on top it was overwhelming
    • Found that short meditations help to restore my capacity 

  4. @Zigzag Idiot Thank you??

    @now is forever Ok, I‘ll do that. Thanks!

    • met with my bro and we structured everything and cleaned up the text
    • helped me to know exactly what to do for the next few days
    • that minimized the fear to continue the work, because I know what to do and how to do it
    • I realized that giving up is connected to a hurt and sad self image
    • Instead of identifying with that I remember the self image of me already having finished this work successfully
