That youtube short part really hurts, I know thats whats going on, but getting the move on is so impossible. I also can't get my brain to understand that sleeping is not wasting time, even while I'm wasting time watching nothings on youtube.

Sometimes I picture my prefrontal cortex as a well meaning bureaucrat who's just like "oh, trust me, I know the rules are terrible and there's an active problem. Nothing I can do about it though, I just work here. Second that order comes in though, I'm on it boss, you better believe. You're gonna want to talk to my manager. Yeah, he doesn't take calls. It sucks, could maybe get something fixed around here. "

Can you expand on this please? I don't know what my prefrontal cortex's role is and don't get what this means. If it's a way of getting past the task resistance, that would be very helpful.
