Getting older and more mature has definitely helped with this. For example, I completely cut out the part where I promise myself I’m going to change the pattern.

I feel seen, also how do you actually break out of this cycle, it’s been decades. 💀
Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.
Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.
Something something body in motion
Something something idle hands something devil's workshop
That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.
It needs to be a regimented "I now do this regardless" activity. If you put in the qualifier of "If I dont feel dead" then you never will, because who feels fantastic getting up at 5:00 to go to the gym?
Oof you got me! I had a feeling I’d be called out for the qualifier and with good reason! The reason for that was if I’m going to sleep late, then 5am gym isn’t feasible, but it sounds like I need to recalibrate my schedule so I don’t feel dead to be able to accommodate for some kind of morning activity.
Oh dont get me wrong, my advice is generic. I dont know your life, I dont even follow my own advice. But I start work at 5 so my alarm goes off at 4:15 so I start my day by arriving at work cranky and go from there. I go on the way home every day because I know if I go home first its game over on the rest of the day.

I broke out by getting diagnosed and getting put on medication.

It's getting really bad because now it's ADHD mixed with massive depression because of the cycle I feel stuck in, the meds aren't helping me do anything but stay awake and have more energy. I'm about to lose everything I care for in life because I just can't shake my mind out of this shit.
Make sure to talk with your Doctor and express that feeling, I've been also in testing meds cycle it sucks but I'm sure I'll find something that works, you got this.

Just make a pact with the devil instead. ... Adderall helps too.

relatable. Good morning. I'm doing the first 5 hours part of my day right now. catchya later.
update 7 hours later: I just did a productive thing!
Now back to some well-earned Lemmy time.
How do you get out of this loop?
- Hyperfixate on getting out the the loop
- Get stuck in new loop
You don't, you just learn to operate within it.
Every fucking day
It's past midnight and I have an assignment I need to finish today... but I really need to research the latest real-time physics engines.
My trick is to do as much as possible during the first hours of the day, and THEN get anxious.
Wait a secondo, is that my routine?
Nah that's my routine.
Y'all owe me SO much in royalties, but I keep forgetting to bring it up.
