@@Matt-jp6if Well first off you are not alone and its more common then most people would like to admit. Secondly and the most unfortune is that procrastination will be a life long struggle if you have Inattentive ADHD. But there are lots of channels on KZfaq with tips and tricks on how to help you activate that dopamine and start doing stuff. First stop would be "HowToADHD". Jessica McCabe is fantastic and has lots of advice. Also when it comes to meds you may need to try different ones or even combos. Don't give up on it but talk to your doctor. Good luck and keep searching and trying new things. Just try and avoid the advice that is for neurotypical folks.

If procrastination is a habit, then it's better to get rid of it instead of applying new habits onto it. Habits stay in subconscious; to make them disappear, you need to bring it to conscious, by being hyper-aware about what you're doing: noticing the feeling that makes you grab your phone, carefully observing how you feel when procrastinating, if you get bored throughout and so on. If you do try it, there's an important note to take: don't fight against it, just let into it with huge awareness about what you're doing and what's going on.

How'd it go this year, OP? 2023 was my first NaNo and I actually made it all the way to 50k! And that's with a couple of nasty setbacks along the way, too. And my experience was pretty similar, both on the daily granular scale and in terms of the whole project--day 1 was the hardest day, and usually the first few minutes after sitting down were the hardest on any given day. Once I got some momentum going, though, it generally got easier. It also helped that I had some online friends that were willing to hear me talk about my progress all month LOL

@@life-destiny1196 Buckle up. I first participated in 2007, and every year I've found _some_ way to reach the 50k goal, whether or not the story was even complete after 30 days trying. This year's story: - It's a fantasy adventure starting when the main character got cursed by a dying fox (which turned _him_ into a fox), only for the fox to realize they cursed the wrong person but there's no takebacks on curses. Whoops! - Additionally, someone else seems to have started impersonating the main character as a human. - Everything is actually narrated from the POV of the fox who cursed the main character (and now exists as a separate voice in their head). Problems I ran into: - General scope/story creep - Lacking an overall outline / pantsing - General pacing issues - One week in, my laptop crashed & wiped my draft (10k words at the time) but fortunately, the online wordcounter tool I use keeps an autosave so ultimately I lost "only" one day (not the whole thing) - Two weeks in, my laptop crashed with disk errors which required ultimately 72 hours to fix the filesystem before it would boot normally again, but fortunately I know how to use recovery mode / command prompt so I could retrieve the file intact and just keep writing (on a different laptop), though I also had to spend time just backing up my user files in general The results: - Final wordcount: 54,500 words - End result: An incomplete story, but good enough for now - Ranked with previous years: mid-to-upper-tier

I have trouble making myself do stuff unless I specifically plan the exact amount of time I need before the deadline. Need to write a paper? If it's 1000 words, I need 500 per 30 min typically, so it'll be an hour for that. Add 30 min for getting souce citations ready, and then another 30 min as a buffer in case anything takes too long. This results in me starting my 1000 word paper at 10 pm the night it's due and still almost always getting it done on time. The problem with fixing procrastination for me is that I still almost always get stuff done on time despite waiting until the last possible moment, so there's less incentive to change.

I actually use procrastination to counter procrastination. I noticed that I had been watching youtube a lots so I try my own method. First, find the video that I want to watch (from subcribed channel, random recommendation video) that longer than 1 minute and put it into a playlist. Second, watch it if I have free time. The first time I did this method was a success, I was about to procrastinate then see a whole playlist of video that have a total of 1 hour long watch time so I back out, scrolling a little bit (if I saw the video that is interesting, I immediately put it in the list and back out), feeling kinda lazy then continute working. For a whole day, I completely forgot about youtube and my done my work (I even try to find something else to do even though I could have watch KZfaq after completing my work)

@@Stilllifebutwhy Thank you for asking, I've actually got some solid news. It's gone beautifully, I have been cutting down on youtube by getting rid of the feed with a google extension, and picking videos from the subscriptions tab. I wrote poetry more often because I've always liked doing it, and then reading. Just by reading the first chapter of Paradise lost an evening irresponsibly late (which is what made it feel genuine) and loving it. I decided to stay up till midnight reading it even though I would be tired the next day because I needed to properly take advantage of this urge to read. The next day I watched tv for an hour before bed and when I went to bed I was just really pissed at myself because I realized that reading would have been more enjoyable and I wanted to read. After that I decided to actively cut down on internet stimulation because I prefer reading after mental silence. If my mind is too active I'll just draw until I'm ready. Something that unnerved me was how after working out without music it was hard to live with it, but I now felt as if the "joy" from music was just to distract me from the pain. I'm now thinking that most internet use is a form of escapism, even music, and I love music...A few days ago aI acted on my routinely strong impulse to go out in the evenings with music on and spend an hour biking, and after I felt mentally drained and satisfied, but also as if it drained away my creative motivation from my own creative expression. Like I could've spent that evening writing a poem that would have made my mind clear, and it would have been healthier, (and again, more enjoyable). One more thing...I did relapse in my porn addiction a few weeks ago and I wasn't quite ready to quit 2 addictions at once becauseI might have failed and drop to the bottom pitts again. Now that I've stabilized my creative outlets, ie reading, writing, & drawing, I'm fixing that. I just couldn't ignore that elephant in an update, again, thank you for asking.

I did something kind of similar with my ADHD. Any time I had homework for my college courses, I would go to a random library or college campus (city wide community college). Sure, I would procrastinate getting into the car, and picking a place to go to, but once I was there my brain wouldn't be on "play mode" like it was at home. Obviously, neither hack is a universal fix, but any small thing with a potential for a life changing impact is worth trying once.

With adhd i definitely find myself putting things off. Ive done it continuously through school and into college. While it is not healthy to add the stress of "i need to do this assignment" with "this is due in a few hours", it kickstarts my brain into focusing more cause i know i _need_ to do it. There is no benefit to not doing it, more of a deficit. Im glad my stuff is due at a minute to midnight (online), it gives me time to be ready before the end of the night, when i know i have to actually get sh- done. The biggest problem isnt that its hard or i dont know what to do (usually), but just getting into the mindset of doing the assignment. Starting is the hardest part. Once im going, it's much easier to do it. I just need to force myself to actually get my sh- together and focus on thinking about what im doing. I dont concentrate because i cant think of what to do. I need a push to start a thought off. By then, it's just keeping myself motivation to see it to the end. (Even with lengthy projects. Research papers do it to ya 4 hours straight.) Give me a wip assignment? I do it halfway, just enough for a grade, then i'll procrastinate until the next due date where i have to actually finish it.

Next level is already knowing that starting will make you do the thing, so you don't even force yourself because you know you'll end up doing it

"Good work" is the phrase I needed to here. Screw "good luck"

Another tip that I sometimes use: tell yourself that the best way to get something off the to-do list is to do the task. You will know that you HAVE to do it, and will get to it ASAP. This also motivates you to do what you have to.

I love Shia's tactic. I'm just gonna flex, scream "DO IT!!!!" at myself and get started! Oh, and I'll try this method too. Thanks!

you need to bring it to conscious, by being hyper-aware about what you're doing: noticing the feeling that makes you grab your phone

I set everything up, stare at the setup for a few seconds, then think "time for a break!" And procrastinate.

Finally, a video about procrastination that isn't a freaking half hour long, thus indirectly promoting further procrastination.

This video is really something. I mean it's amazing and filled with so much useful information up to about the 2 minute mark, then it drops off. By minute 2, there was about half a minute of complete silence which is completely unprofessional. At the 5 minute mark, I was sure that it was just some kindof dramatic pause and that there was going to be a payoff. I was convinced until about minute 30 when I figured out that there would be no payoff. But I kept going anyway. After the 2 hour mark, I started getting really bored and felt the video was dragging on way to long. I'm currently about 6 hours in and it doesn't seem to be picking up again. So to those watching I suggest stopping around the minute and 29 seconds mark. Good video either way.

Here's something I think could help you all: Instead of saying "start" or "beginning", you can replace it with "make progress" or "advance" and things will get even much easier

Fair enough. Setting up for a task gets that tiny snowball rolling.

The fact this video is only 90 seconds is the reason I watched it immediately instead of putting it off XD

The thing that works best for me is to lock my phone away at night and next day when I wake up, the only thing I do is drink a green tea and then immediately start working. Because at that point you don't have any chaos in your brain yet so working is actually more fun and stimulating than doing nothing

These tricks really only work for people who made procrastinating a habit for a sake of procrastinating, or those who are just lazy. It doesn't help when there is any other reason for it. For me, the my long procrastination sprees tend to happen when I don't how how to do all or some part of the task, or where to begin. It always seems like a silly thing to worry about or an easy problem to solve in hindsight once I figure it out or get help. I once delayed a uni essay repeatedly and almost failed because I wasn't sure how to go about researching the given subject. Once someone helped point me in the right direction, I was done in a week. So yeah, these kinds of tricks often aren't very helpful since even if I get myself to sit down, I quickly get panicked about the perceived problem and start panic procrastinating even harder.
