The best is the enemy of the good [1]. I constantly remind myself of that and I still fall for the trap. So I write down two questions, dubbed the procrastination questions:

2. What kind of difficulty are you facing?
1. What do you think you are supposed to do now? 2. What kind of difficulty are you facing?
And then it's easier to continue working.
