When I look at it objectively, I find I almost always do/feel better if I pick something to do, anything at all, and do it. Sometimes just doing things that "have" to be done anyway help (like dishes or laundry or changing my bed), doesn't seem to matter if I pick something really easy (go upstairs and get paper for my printer downstairs and print out a webpage I wanted last week) or something that seems impossible sometimes (change the bed :-) just the doing gets me thinking in some other rut :-) than the one I'm in and gets my wheels turning. I was once told to think of a car and how hard it is to steer the slower it is going. Tells my age as it would have to be without automatic steering (I had a 1964 Corvair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvair and it took my girlfriend and me both to turn the wheel when I was trying to parallel park) which I think all cars have now. But think of a car that is "off" and pushing it and how hard that is versus one that is moving.
