Some days it's tough to get the productivity ball rolling. It's like there's a part of me that's a poorly trained dog, getting me to be anxious about stuff I don't really need to be that anxious about (a lot of ego there- like it's not just I'm worried I can't do it, I'm worried even if I do it will give me that "shouldn't have been that hard" feeling")

One trick - that I kind of hate works - is playing music... it's just like a weird subconscious distractor.

Kids who grew up in the 80s on recycled Loony Tunes might remember - or even remember quoting - this one Bugs Bunny clip, cued up here where Bugs plays a violin to entrance and calm a rampaging gorilla, and he (mis)quotes "music calms the savage beast"... (later on you hear that the original was William Congreve's "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.")

Guess it's true!
