I suspect there’s a physical component—sometimes doing things feels like I have to haul myself over a high threshold to get started—and it probably won’t be easy to continue, either. (Some people find it hard to get started, but easy to continue.)
In any case, the difficulty with starting might be a serotonin/dopamine thing, or at least it sounds like a very mild version of a Parkinson’s symptom.
It seems to me that sometimes my ability to do things correlates with weather (high/low pressure), but I don’t keep records to prove or disprove this hypothesis. Just writing it here as an example for a hypothesis I would usually not think about. It doesn’t explain why person X is more productive than person Y, but it could explain why person Y failed on a specific day.
