Date: 2011-10-17 11:39 am (UTC)I sometimes find myself procrastinating, not able to get my head into the game.
And it _always_ turns out that I'm afraid of something. That there's something lurking ahead that I don't know what to do about - lacking requirements, a problem I don't know how to solve, technology that's being a massive pain to work with in the past.
The thing that works for me is stopping, working out where the fear is coming from, and then taking a bit of time out to work out what the solution is. Once I've done that my productivity skyrockets.
