I tell myself at night "tomorrow I& #39;m gonna do art!" And then tomorrow I end up half cleaning the kitchen then getting distracted by the carpets then getting distracted by emails then going down a wiki rabbit-hole because I didn& #39;t know the meaning of a word in that one email-->
Then I find myself reorgasing a closet and halfway through that I& #39;ll be baking because for five minutes I wanted bread and then three hours later there& #39;s a bowl of activated yeast on the counter because someone sent me a cat video and that makes me trawl YouTube for cat videos->
Then I finally make the bread and thank fudge the bread machine switches off after 1 hour or the house would burn down and while I& #39;m folding and putting away laundry the bread machine goes beep and "HOLY HEAVEN FRESH BREAD AND BUTTER!" And then a loaf of bread disappeared ->
then its 20:00 and I finally want to sit down and do personal art, it& #39;s already late and I should wind down and watch a movie with my wife and then its bath time and bed time and I lay awake till 2AM having panic attacks that I haven& #39;t done art only to wake up at 6 and repeat->

I can only seem to sit down and do work if my brain knows that someone has paid for it and expects it at a set deadline but then I work for 14 hours and forget to eat https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">->
How do I trick my brain into believing that personal art is paid for and has a deadline but still be able to have delicious home made bread and a clean house?

How do normal people do these things?
