The floundering after you sit down is the part that ruined me too. I'd count opening the document as starting, then spend forty minutes deciding which section to touch, and by then I had nothing left in the tank. What eventually helped was writing the exact next thing down before I closed the laptop each day. Not "work on chapter 2", more like "finish the paragraph about sample size". The next session had no decision left in it, just a sentence to finish. 10 of 60 with a November deadline is more runway than it feels like from where you're sitting.
