One dumb trick I've had success with when it comes to exercise is to just put on my gym clothes.

It may be several hours before I actually go on that run, but now the task of running needs to be executed before the clothes can be taken off.

I do this as well - if doing a task seems too overwhelming I’ll say to myself “well I’ll just do this small subtask instead”.

It starts small.

“I’ll just stick on my shoes” “I’ll just walk to the gate” “I’ll just run to that post” ...

Before you know it you’ve completed the thing you didn’t feel like doing.
