"I just need to sit down, focus, skim a few chapters in this book, and take notes. It'll take twenty minutes, maybe even less. Easy."

"Let's watch a one-hour video essay on a completely unrelated topic, maybe that'll motivate me." (it won't)

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS START THE DAMN PROJECT, CJ!

Ah shit, here we go again...

Nah, starting is easy. I start new projects all the time. Finishing them though...
