Distraction Log and Task Breakdown Tool

Recently, I realized that procrastination doesn’t come from being lazy (even though I sometimes am). It usually comes from three things: 1. juggling multiple projects at a time 2. as a result of the previous point - struggling to prioritize properly 3. not knowing what exactly to do - or how to start (the main problem) I'll tell you a story about how I organized myself and fought procrastination, so maybe some approaches will help you, too. When I didn’t know how to start a specific task, I’d put it aside and jump into another one. Eventually, I ended up with five half-started projects and a constant feeling of pressure. So, here's what I changed. First, if something feels too complicated, I break it down into micro-steps - even things like "send a question to the client." That helps me identify blocking tasks early (especially those that depend on others) and estimate time more realistically. I write these small tasks into my planner. Second, I created a simple timetable and a Distraction Log. I plan 2–3 deep-focus sessions per day - 60 to 90 minutes each - and log distractions when they happen. If I catch myself procrastinating (scrolling Instagram again), I quickly note what distracted me and why in the Distraction Log. At the end of the day, I review my notes to understand why it happened and find ways to prevent it in the future. After about two weeks, I noticed I was procrastinating almost 60% less (judging by how often I caught myself wandering off). It’s still not perfect, but it feels way calmer and more intentional now. Also, I designed a toolkit, which I called Focus Flow, to make it reusable. If anyone’s curious, I might share the layout in DM.
