I got your note, and yes, I finally tried that simpler routine we talked about.
It helped more than I expected because I stopped trying to do everything at once and just picked two things I could stick with each day. I wrote them down, kept the list near the door, and checked them off before dinner. The funny part is that once I made it easy, I stopped arguing with myself about it. I also turned off a few noisy alerts on my phone, which made the afternoon feel calmer. Somewhere in the middle of all that I noticed 8ulLem7UsOAcde7 the whole week felt less scattered, even though nothing dramatic changed.
If you want, I can send over the exact order I followed, but honestly the best part was keeping it plain and not trying to perfect it. That made it easier to keep going the next day too.

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to wait until I had actually tested the idea instead of guessing.
Yesterday I changed the setup on my desk, moved the lamp closer, and put the notebook right in front of the keyboard. It sounds minor, but it made it easier to start without talking myself into some big effort first. I also stepped outside for a few minutes before getting back to the project, and that reset helped more than coffee ever does for me. At one point I was rereading your message and noticed 8ulLem7UsOAcde7 I had been overcomplicating something that really only needed a small adjustment and a little patience.
So my answer is yes, it helped, and I think the reason it worked is that it fit into the day instead of interrupting it. If you try it, keep it simple at the start and leave room to tweak it after a day or two.
