How to Boost Self Esteem and Stop Procrastinating
Ok, I tried to read that, but it feels like they are about to sell me something. So much self-help writing sounds like this and it just doesn't resonate with me.<p>That said, I'm a born procrastinator with undiagnosed ADHD and I've managed to accomplish a few things, mostly after I turned 30. Here is all I would say helped me:<p>First, accepting who I am, that everybody has some mental struggles and this is mine.<p>Second, internalizing that mood follows motion. I can't sit around waiting to feel right before starting/doing something. You will never feel right. It's the doing of the thing that makes you feel right. Just start shit. That's the battle.<p>Finally, conserve momentum at all costs. When I'm really getting things done, keeping grinding, extend the streaks, fewer cold starts makes my life easier.
