Default Having Trouble Starting

There are things I want to do, that honestly I really love to do. Once I start these activities, I am drawn in and can continue for a long time.

My problem is starting, and I'm not sure why. I thought that if I liked it so much, I would want to start.

I think perhaps the problem is that these things take so much energy, and sometimes I just don't have that much energy. When I'm like that, I just aimlessly browse the web or do whatever is easiest. Even if I get bored though, or run out of things to do, I can't muster that little burst of energy it takes to get started with these activities that I should be doing.

It kind of reminds me of physics, and inertia. It takes work to get that net force to change the object's velocity, but once that happens, it's a whole lot easier to keep it moving.
