For me the big realization was that self-sabotage is mechanism that make up excuses to prevent future damage to your ego. It is activated when you feel uncertain about outcomes and in risky terrain.

Knowing that, the trick is starting stuff you are unsure as an experiment, so you can see how can you get there instead crossing items in a to-do list.

In my case I got to feel really guilty about wasting days and weeks without any advancements. Stuck in complex issues (in my mind) and swimming in circles.

Progress in the only cure, and only reframing your day to day it get easier.
