Not really, but I think it probably starts with trying to be more aware of where the productivity blitz you’re in the middle of is stress-induced, reflecting on what you’re feeling in that moment, and trying to remember those feelings and internal reasonings at times when you want to be motivated but aren’t feeling it.

For me it’s a lot more helpful and impactful when it’s a self-realisation vs. someone telling me the same thing, so it might sound silly or nebulous coming from someone else, but just have a go at practicing more mindfulness and go from there - eventually you’ll be in the hardworking phase of the cycle while also being aware of that, while you’re experiencing the feelings that cause you to be in that phase, and then later you can get to examining ‘why’. It might not reverse the instincts you’ve learned over a lifetime, but it can help
