I have seen a recommendation to plan your next day in the evening. Probably for the same reason: “not now” deactivates the ugh field.
Maybe it would be possible to achieve this effect immediately by precomitting to do nothing during the next 10 minutes. Just sit (don’t browse the web) and optionally think about the problem. But don’t do anything until the 10 minutes are over. At the end you could have a plan. (Maybe there would be an exception that you are allowed to write notes about your ideas during the 10 minutes, but nothing else.)
