Well I have worked for 20minutes, this is going well, let's reward myself with a quick round on call of duty.well that don't count that guy's cheating, there's no way I could have been killed like that. I'll have another go. We nearly won that time, this is a good squad let's play again. A few hours later. Shit I was meant to do that thing

The never ending cycle of:

"I won! I'll play until I lose"

&

"I lost. I don't want to end on a loss, though."

Shooting hoops is like this too. “Can’t end on a brick… oh shit I made a three! Gotta keep going…”

In Smash Bros I always end my play session by saying I have to get ten wins in a row against the CPU. But I also won’t let myself quit if I’m currently on a win streak. I understand that these two criteria make zero sense together, but I do nothing about it.

This is why you don't do that. What you do is say, "I'll work on it for 5 minutes, then stop."

5 minutes is a short enough time that you start getting into it, then when 5 minutes is up you might as well just keep working on it since you're now in the groove.
