Usually it's in our heads - try setting a timer for 15 minutes and see how much you can get done in that time. Amazed? Yeah, me too, usually. Because I make it such a big deal in my head and put it off until it is a HUGE deal. When I finally stopped doing that, it felt like I was taking care of myself in a wonderful homey kind of way.
