There's been a few good responses, but for me, I saw a doctor when I was able to eliminate anything that would arguably be a distraction when I needed to finish my 95% finished essay 2 years ago. The subject was literally Byzantine in nature and all the hard parts were done, but If I recall, I just needed to do a tiny edit or summary to wrap it up. This was a final project worth around 30% of the grade. What might happen once you eliminate all ways to distract yourself, all anxieties etc.. is that you just get it done, because the value proposition is enough to stimulate you to do it. For me? I fell asleep, and idk how I did on it. What happens about a month into any new job? I gradually show up later and later. What happens 6 months into any job? I lose it.

I couldn't possibly read your comment as insensitive, because the opposite is on my mind every day. I fundamentally don't understand how people can consistently do most types of software engineering or any other kinds of boring office job, day in day out, because it's their job. It's so foreign, as to be a completely alien idea.
