I procrastinate. I sometimes hardly start something I’m interested to, if i start i don’t get the work done for example if i want to read an article i find myself checking instagram or whatsapp or reading an extra link
Please i really suffer with this

Executive function is the part of the brain that puts together cause and effects that are slightly separated by time. So in your case, it’s the part of your brain that needs to connect the part of you that wants to check instagram with the future part that feels like crap when you look back at how you should have been doing something more productive. Your brain is supposed to connect those two things together so they sort of cancel each other out and maybe you don’t go on instagram. But there are other ways to get the same thing for example, someone that helps you connect those two things together (a therapist).
