Your brain can't distinguish between intending to do something and actually doing it. Both release the same dopamine reward. That's why endless planning feels productive — you get the neurochemical payoff of completion without the output. The cure isn't better plans; it's time-blocking that forces you into the work itself, where output (not narration) is the only metric that matters.
