You open your computer, see "write chapter 2", and spend an hour somewhere else. That is not a character flaw: the task forces you to decide where to start, in front of a blank screen, in the middle of the day. The problem with motivation is not that it does not exist. It is that we ask it to do the work that a good system should already be doing.
You do not need to feel motivated in order to start. You need starting to cost less than postponing.
Motivation is not a stable fuel source. It is a signal that rises and falls depending on: - starting friction - clarity of the next action - visibility of progress - your physical and emotional state
