I need to do little warmups to get started on things, little distractions. A little puzzle, a walk. If you need to do something NOW, go hold some ice for 30 seconds then start immediately. You need to distract your central nervous system to get it out of the loop. Physical sensations or activity works best.

Ooh I’m going to try this as I’ve not moved since woke up 5 hours ago.

Hope it helps! This is also why I start my day with a shower. Super hot or slightly cold when I am especially struggling.
