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

I have both, for my executive dysfunction means that when I think about doing something I don’t get the dopamine “hit” that other people do.

The way it should work is that I think “I should clean the bathroom” >> I get a small hit of dopamine >> this encourages me to think that completing the task will get me more >> I start doing the task. This doesn’t happen to me, so I keep scrolling of whatever.

What I have to do it stop and take a few mins to imagine what it feels like when I complete the task >> then I realise that I will like the result (clean bathroom or whatever) >> I start doing the task.

N.B: Everyone’s different, this works for me but YMMV :+1:
