give your body/brain the time it needs, the writing will flow back to you when its ready (maybe try another silly creative outlet that you can fuck around with and avoid trying to perfect it, ease the creativity back into your brain) OR remember that some of your opps are probably pushing thru the procrastination (this works most times for me... i will finish all my work asap)

force yourself to start a project that you've been ruminating on for a minute but instead of committing to finishing it, start various other lower stakes projects whenever you're "supposed" to be working on the original project. this is literally the only way i get anything done

set a timer for yourself to do the thing you've been procrastinating for five minutes. then work up to 10, 15, etc.
i often feel way better after I Do The Thing. the procrastination part is usually just dreading getting started, but once you do the task tends to go by quickly, esp if you put on music or a TV show in the background. calling a friend or just having them in the room to body double is helpful as well if you are of the ADHD persuasion.
i totally understand the fear of failure though - i often let wanting things to be "perfect" get in the way of "good enough". not that you should half-ass things, but go a little easier on yourself. i'm sure whatever project you're working on will turn out 10X better than you think it will. best of luck xx

There is beauty in procrastinating. It’s your mind moved by its true untamed force. I understand that things must be done but most of the times the price to fight it is too high. I didn’t get any of the things I planned to do today done. But other things happened. My mind went places. It felt good.

the internet needs less chaos and self serving agendas, no more arguing with blue check marks for rage bait and getting people paid who cannot stand 10 toes down on their beliefs. reverting back to writing out every single thought and belief I have inside a journal like its my mini manifesto
