Go for a walk or if you can go get a late night snack. This used to help me so much. Once I eat and chill out for a sec, I make a map for my paper on how I am going to divide and finish each section. Each time I get done with one I reward myself.

Yes. Sometimes it’s just you’re hungry or really bored at the fact you have to get this thing you don’t want to do done to the point it’s anxiety inducing. On days i have papers/a lot of work, I order from my favorite restaurant and get a bunch of my favorite snacks to make more enjoyable bc I like food.

Very true, I always forget the basics when I get super anxious. But box breathing helps me a lot
