When I try to make a conscious effort to fight it, a few things might happen…

I might miss my thing.

I might be late for my thing.

I actually got my alarm for my thing, but now I have to put down what I was working on and now it’s half finished and getting back to it is going to be even harder than starting on it.

I am so stressed and distracted by trying to stay on task for what I work on before my thing and that I can’t actually do anything else because the thought of the other possible scenarios happening weighs on my mind.
