Tricks to start working despite not feeling like it
Procrastination is a tricky beast.<p>I&#x27;m not going to discount advice like this, because it <i>is</i> helpful. But it is only one piece of the puzzle. There&#x27;s a <i>stark</i> difference between &quot;I don&#x27;t quite feel like starting this yet, so I&#x27;ll put it off for a little bit&quot; and &quot;I absolutely want nothing more than to start this but I can&#x27;t force myself to&quot;, between laziness and a genuine <i>inability</i> to begin.<p>Not to give medical advice in the comments section of a web article, but if the latter description describes you, understand that <i>most</i> people don&#x27;t go through those struggles. This may be an issue that needs more work to solve than reading self-help articles; it may be caused by burn-out or ADHD or some other executive functioning issue. Do look into this is procrastination is something you are <i>constantly</i> struggling with in your life.<p>I wrote [an article][1] about my experiences with procrastination and ADHD, if you&#x27;re interested in more. I&#x27;d also recommend the fantastic [ADHD Alien comics][2] for a nice digestible summary of what ADHD is like.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;invisibleup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;27&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;invisibleup.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;27&#x2F;</a>
