I get fuck all done. Luckily I've done alright in life so far due to my hard work, but if I don't get this fixed, I am so fucked. I need to fix this ASAP or else I will desperately fall behind

I am so sorry to inconvenience you guys, but does anyone know how to fix this?

How about:

1. Wake up. (1 minute)
2. Do whatever is the bare minimum to come up to waking speed. (ten minutes)
3. Do essay from beginning to end.
4. Enjoy virtuous glow while you attend to chores.

I would also recommend intermittent fasting - once you acclimatize you will just not feel hungry outside your eating window.

If you spend an inordinate amount of time doing your hair then shave or buzzcut it once a week, then forget about it the rest of the time.

Might be ADHD. Talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a specialist. Medication might help.

If you’re not interested in that, unfortunately the easiest answer amounts to “just fucking do it.”

I have been diagnosed with ADHD, but I really don't want to be medicated

OP here btw

Well then I guess the next best thing is to find something more important than your essay that needs to be done, and then procrastinate from doing that by doing your essay instead.

Or seek counseling.

Yeah ADHD brain only does what it thinks is worth doing. So basically you have to either brainwash yourself into think this is actually important or drop out of school. I mean, everyone knows you have to do your assignments to get good grades. You need good grades to get a degree. You need a degree to get a job. You need a job to get money. You need money to pay your bills. You need to pay your bills so you can have a place to stay, food and clothes. You need a place to stay, food and clothes so you do not freeze or starve to death or get fined for public indecency. You do not want to die because reasons and you do mot want to go to jail because that sounds boring af. Now, is there any way you could get away with not doing your assignments? Ofc there is. You could just run away and go live in a cave on a tropical island and hunt fish and gather fruits. Which is what you actually want to do. So either you find a way to make you believe that staying in civilization is worth it for you or you actually pack your shit and drop out of it all. Those are your options really.

You somehow understand me better than anyone in my life

Thanks for your time, I'll try out your advice

why not try meds? it's supposed to be the solution to your issues, at least partially.

I want to be diagnosed for ADD and get meds too. It would explain a lot of things in my life.
>>

Not OP but meds do absolutely nothing for me. They just make me be a tiny bit more productive for like a week (probably just placebo) and then i burn out because i overdid it.
>>
>>31137070
Here's your answer, OP. You clearly don't care about the task at hand. If you actually did care about the day's task, you would do it because that's how desire works. You should probably change jobs or whatever it is you're assigned because it's clearly not resonating with you at a personal level. Or, if I'm totally off the mark here, take addy like somebody else suggested.

Use your spaz power to do all kinds of random shit. Don’t suppress it, crank it to the max.
>>
When I was I college I commuted and I couldn’t get shit done at home so whenever I had an important assignment I would just do it in the university library.. 1 hour there was like 3 hours trying to struggle at home
