Well this is some new idea, I have never come across this. However, how do you suggest I even make the first step towards opening an IDE and looking at it. Right now, thinking about it, seems like a drag. Just like in the putting on the shoes analogy. It is hard to even get myself to that stage at times, it is like battling an uphill boulder moving race.

Change your perspective from "I am not motivated" to "I need to act to be motivated". Action is the fuel that ignites motivation. That's why breaking down big things to small steps often works against procrastination.

First, turn on your computer and sit at your desk. Step by step

Only switch your computer off when you go on holiday. Put it to sleep otherwise. Keep your IDE open at all times. Have it auto start when your computer boots up.
