Whenever I don't want to get started on a project, I just set things up to do the project with the intention of walking away. If I still don't want to get started, I write down instructions on what needs to be done so an employee can do it for me. (I don't have any employees.) Then I hire myself to do it.

@red_dll 2 года назад

That's a good move. I often find it a lot easier to break the steps down like a manual and then start working on each step one by one.

For 3 weeks for me cause we just started school. I don't want to have a pile of schoolwork again. Last time I didn't get any sleep for 3 days straight because I had to pass everything before the school year ended. It was a nightmare 😖 Right now I have 10+ assignment I still need to pass. I have to submit all of it before it even reach to 20 omg I can't. I'll do it now. Bye.

Me, ADHD, who always buries every task behind a mountain of other tasks: Hmm, I need to sweep the kitchen floor, it's getting gross. Before that I have to take the garbages out so I don't make the floor dirty again right away, but I can't forget to toss the rotten stuff from the fridge first! (*Opens the fridge*) Why did I open this? Oh, I need to make a grocery list for tomorrow! (*makes grocery list, thinks of something to make for dinner while I was considering what ingredients I had left, then starts making dinner*) 3 hours later, on my way to bed: Shoot, I was supposed to sweep the floors. But before that, I need to wipe the counters so none of it gets knocked onto the floor... (and the cycle continues, endlessly, for eternity)

@TheFeldhamster 2 года назад

I don't have ADHD but I totally can empathize with this. I now call it over optimization. The best way is to force myself to give up on optimizing everything at once. Like, it's better to sweep the floor even if it might get dirty again when I take out the garbage. Because 1. who knows if I'll get around to taking out the garbage today anyway and 2. chores are not projects that ever get finished. You can't wipe the floor and it's done forever. It will need to be done again anyway in a couple of days. So, it doesn't matter if it gets dirty in a day or two and it doesn't pay to try and over optimize the work. If I forget to put the rotting stuff from the fridge into the garbage today, there will be a new garbage bag waiting tomorrow. So, maybe just go one step back. Like, ok, I'll get the garbage out and then wipe the floor. But cut the chain after that second step, don't go further and further. You might even end up in a deadlock where in order to do the thing that you need to do the thing etc. you need to wipe the floor first and then you're stuck forever :) My remaining problem is projects. Where things are not recurring like with chores but you do it once and then it should be fixed forever (or at least for the next 5 years). Really difficult to let go of the urge of optimization there. Because unlike with chores, there is no "oh, I would have to do that again anyway in a couple of days".

@chuckolator1859 2 года назад

Bro, you just really opened my eyes right now. When it's "output based", your mind does 2 things: the task seems bigger, and your satisfaction is tied to a hypothetical ideal result. This makes for a painful task. But if it's "input based", not only does the task become manageable to attempt, but your satisfaction is tied to the fact that you put in effort; not the end result that may take much more time or effort than you think. I'm sharing this with my friends, sir. Thank you so much for this. God bless!

@meowfacewhiskerpaws 2 года назад

Thanks for this! I have a messy kitchen that seems extremely overwhelming. I've heard the "just set a timer" and it never works but something very simple and small just clicked. Start smaller and work up to setting a timer. Saying "just go put on a pot of coffee" to get myself in the kitchen helped a lot. I looked around and tried to find the least amount of work, so I cleaned off the table, then the dishes going in the dishwasher seemed to be a breeze. I thought to do just one more super small task so I just wiped the stove off. Scrubbing it seemed too big of a job. So I cleared the counter and it didn't seem so big anymore so I scrubbed the stove. Note to self, if you hate cleaning, don't get a gas stove with all the nooks and crannies.

What helps me most is to just start with a really small task. Like hitting play on my study music and either reading one sentence or writing one word, depending on what I'm working on. I always end up working for at least 15 minutes even on my worst unmedicated days, good days usually 40-50 minutes.

Thanks. I am back from completing the schoolwork I was procrastinating on, and I just thought thanking you would be the best I could do. My mom used to do this whenever me and my brother didn't want to start our homework. She would put a small timer, like, 10-15 minutes, on her phone, and we were encouraged to sit down for a seemingly small time after which we could be allowed to play. She would silently increase the timer until we would be done, and it worked wonders. I just can't emphasise how well it used to work, it seemed like magic to my 10 year old self. Of course, I'm still at school, but I'm a lot older than that, so she refuses to do it anymore, saying we're grown up enough to manage our own time. Not unexpected 🤭 But thanks to you, I remembered that old trick, and it helped me. Once again, thanks.

Short and Sweet! I love it! I find that if I use the timer, time blocking, and mini goals for my study sessions through out the day motivates me. However, this only kicks into effect for my ASD/ADHD brain after a couple of days following this procedure. My problem happens when my mind then resists the procedures that have worked before.

Also, when you're writing a paper, just keep writing and don't stop to make small edits. Try to write whole paragraphs this way until you're done with the paper, and then go back and edit. You can also combine this with pomodoros and write as much as you can for 15-25 minutes. Hope this helps!
