#2At one point I spent a couple of days watching dozens of videos on procrastination, and this video [1] by Tim Pychyl was by far the best. I strongly recommend it.
It's ostensibly focused on helping grad students with procrastination, but the tips and techniques he gives in the talk can be applied by anyone.

It's easy, just procrastinate later

#6Yes, it can be extremely hard to deals with this type of ADD/ADHD without medication.
People write whole books about it just to avoid calling it a disease and making medication more accepted.

Eyeroll. Read it. I read everything. Look, my brain is broken. It would literally be easier for me to off myself than do everything I need to do every single day. It's simply hell.
A mediocre life is the best I can hope for without modern medicine. When I had access to it, I felt normal for the short but brilliant time it lasted.

I feel this pain deep inside my brain. My head is like a million points moving in several directions at once, all the time. In fact, I just set up another appointment where I am going in full throttle for whatever medication I can get. I am completely exhausted trying to keep these points all lined up in a straight line.

#10I’ve read a lot of articles, seen a lot of videos about procrastination (of course, when I had other things to do).
But this one was an interesting lecture. Even if it sounds stupidly simple, I found it really helpful to link procrastination and level of anxiety and I’m glad it helped me put words on how my feelings are.
Thank you
