liven app review
I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but whenever I sit down to work — especially on something that matters — my brain starts inventing "urgent" things I suddenly need to do. Like, I’ll remember I haven’t cleaned my inbox, or that it’s the perfect time to reorganize my notes. It’s frustrating because I know it’s avoidance, but it feels important in the moment. Anyone else deal with this kind of mental sabotage?

Totally get what you’re saying. It’s like the brain becomes a master negotiator right when you're trying to commit to a task. For me, it's always something random but productive-sounding that sneaks in — like "maybe you should finally look into that Liven app review you bookmarked weeks ago" 😅 when all I really need to do is finish one page of a report. I’ve learned that naming the behavior helps: “This is just task-switching procrastination.” Once I call it out, it’s easier to get back to what I was doing.
Also, you’re not alone — there’s a pretty insightful post and discussion on this exact feeling here: Trying to improve focus and productivity liven app review — does anyone else do this?. The way others describe their brains “looking for escape routes” really clicked for me. Made me realize I’m not lazy — just dealing with some mental wiring that needs rewiring.
