I didn't expect to get much done this weekend fic-wise. Weekends frequently equal housework and sometimes music. So, I was pleased that I at least managed to get a bit of planning done for the coming week. Having found last week that if I set myself a very small and precisely defined goal and stated it here, then it tended to get done before the next check-in post I commented, I made a list of such goals this week. If I can do the one that involves the first chapter, I might even get something to my beta this week.

So, before the next check in I'm going to convert a scene I wrote in first person present tense (which is a method I use when I'm feeling at a loss - I try to be the character for a moment) into third person, past tense, like the rest of the fic.

Discussion: What you described sounds a bit like I get with music practice sometimes, or with RL chores or admin. As for fic, I kind of jot sporadically throughout the day (I'm afraid of losing ideas) with sprints when I need to. I don't put off writing, I just do it in a cursory way if I've got other stuff on and hope to fill in the gaps later.
