I'm sitting in my computer chair at 1 am and I have a paper due tommorow. I can't for the life of me start doing it, I'm just so goddamn lazy. Whenever I think about the process of writing it, my mind just shuts down and says "no". It's like I'm fighting with myself.. jesus. Help please, have any other NTs had similar experiences?
Study the absolute minimum. Not more, no less.
They are after the key words only.
Understate. Do not use adverbs.
Then write whatever you want.

Point is if you really want to do it, do it! Otherwise don't.

I still have one. One reason why I have had so many girlfriends the last few years.

Must have been smaller than my Pness. I've such a large Pness that me and girls just don't match together.

basically just do it.

You're thinking about it too much. Get yourself to do it without thinking about all the problems and conditions etc. It's like walking. If you consciously have to place each step, you'll never make it. So, remove your conscious part and let it flow.

For people with J preference, making a list and going through it helps. (left brain). ghantt charts, todo lists, action-items whatever

For people with P preference, making a story and going through it helps. (right brain). Mental movie, story board, mental dress rehearsal or whatever holistic ways of getting through it.

In all cases, reject thoughts that bring despair or worry or distraction. Basically all the things that are blocking your path and focus on the task at hand. When mentally preparing, always allow room for frustration and difficulties.

actually, holding a pen and writing on a piece of paper is not that hard.
Try doing simple stuff and move your way to the harder stuff.
