Yeah screw you too bud

…in bed. (sorry… someone was going to say it.)

Thanks, I’m cured.

I don’t let progress hinder my procrastination unfortunately…

I went to the bathroom to get ready to leave, but I saw some clothes on the floor and picked them up to put them in the hamper in the closet and I saw the new pack of hangers on the floor so I decided to put them on the rod and then I put some shirts on those new hangers and noticed I had lots extra so I decided to do laundry so I could use the hangers I just bought and now I’m fucking late because I was supposed to get ready.

This sounds like it’s asking me to multitask my procrastination and progress.

What really works for me to have my cake and eat it: I keep doomscrolling / watching until a time I set, with the extra bonus that it’s guilt-free.

E. g. I have to sleep and it’s already 30 minutes late, and I’m watching a video. 10 minutes later doesn’t matter now, so I turn off the guilt and pressure completely and really enjoy watching another 10 minutes, then go to bed.

Result: A lot of my time is still spent procrastinating, but I also get like 50 % done of what I should get done, rather than 0 %. And procrastinating is a lot more fun without the guilt.

This is really the secret to getting stuff done when you have adhd: instead of procrastinating just stop procrastinating.

Once I started not procrastinating I was amazed at how I got done. I’m publishing a book called Stop Procrastinating: How to Stop Procrastinating and Get Things Done Instead of Not Getting Things Done: A Guide for ADHD People and Procrastinators Who Never Get Anything Done And Probably Could If They Stopped all the Procrastinating.

You can buy a copy of my book and learn everything there is to know about the benefits of not procrastinating. Once you realize that’s the way to go, the only thing you have to do after that is just go ahead and get started on stuff, by stopping procrastinating.

Procrastinators tend to wait to do stuff. This is called procrastinating. The secret to stopping procrastination is to go ahead and do the things that one needs to be doing already. Once you start doing things instead of procrastinating life gets way harder.

Good luck to you. Please buy my book. Just ask your local bookstore about * Stop Procrastinating: How to Stop Procrastinating and Get Things Done Instead of Not Getting Things Done: A Guide for ADHD People and Procrastinators Who Never Get Anything Done And Probably Could If They Stopped all the Procrastinating*. My plan is to have it be a best seller, as soon as lots of people buy it.

Don’t offend me with my own incompetence

Oh yes, I remember all those guides and methods about procrastination, the procrastination monkey etc. In the end, if you need to try and evaluate all the methods, and chain the dozen that work best, just to start your laundry, the most important method becomes: Check for mental problems. Could be a depression causing that, could be ADHD, could be something else.
