Knowing that the end result will be worth it.

I started a new thing with visualization. I like to take a photo of a declutter project before and after. This keeps me motivated for the next project.

I like to have a game plan and then break it into small 1/2-1 hour sessions. I do this daily until the task is completed. For visualization on decluttering I take a before and after picture. That is my reward for completing the task.

That's a good strategy! I'll give it a try

What keeps me motivated is to see small results into my routine and the waiting time about it. If It feels too much I feel freeze and I need to move my body. In this moment I feel use disassociation within body and mind. I want to avoid disassociation..

First of all, give yourself a break. And then I think you need to divide it up into small task that was mentioned. Three papers at a time is a good start. Just start with three at a time let that be your first goal and then if you accomplish that due three more baby steps you can do this.

I feel terrible because I’m totally unable to motivate myself for one type of tasks have to do over and over again for work : marking papers (I’m a teacher). For the short papers it’s ok but as soon as it takes more than 3 mn/paper (it’s often the case…) I’m absolutely unable to start. I tell myself « 3 papers every day, it’s not that much » but even then I can’t. It is the equivalent of physical pain to put myself at work for this… So I feel ashamed when my students ask if I finished, and I spend an allnighter trying to finish, falling asleep on the papers and then forcing myself to wake up (I slap myself in such cases) and it’s complete torture… I don’t know what to do… 😢
