Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness?
There is the potential that you have ADHD, because what you&#x27;re describing sounds similar to my situation. I eventually ended up on stimulant medication to help, but there&#x27;s non-stimulant medication available (if you&#x27;re opposed to eating amphetamines for breakfast), as well as counselling and other treatment options that don&#x27;t involve medication.<p>Even if you don&#x27;t want to seek professional treatment, you could look up articles on solving problems and achieving goals written specifically for people with ADHD and see if those help.
