Thing that have helped me:

* Flow Club, a virtual coworking space (it really help me realize how unrealistic I am with time). Lots of people with ADHD love this service * Social Anxiety medication * Journaling 750 words per day * Using a todo list manager that only shows me the most important or relevant tasks (omnifocus). There is no perfect todolist manager though and I’ve gone through a lot * This survey of productivity methods: https://todoist.com/productivity-methods (eat the frog was best for me, people are different) * Trying to get more sleep * Identify when I’m just asking too much and identifying better goals * Switching medical providers if their advice isn’t working * Getting a rigorous test diagnosis from a psychologist. People said I had ADHD but a battery of neurological tests showed high functioning autism. * Reading books like learned optimism and when panic attacks from top psychology professors * This youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2EEnJedcYU&t=22s It’s for students, but he’s right that many times procrastination is an emotion management problem

When I get stuck, i find that one of two methods really helps: * Breaking my todo list into smaller tasks * Filling out a daily mood log from when panic attacks to determine the negative thoughts

Things that haven’t helped much at all: * Talk therapy - you generally have to find someone good and I felt we just spend time talking about nice things and never got into anything useful, they just don’t want to offend you. So hard to find a good provider and I saw quite a few and it was a big waste of time. They either used some modality that didn’t fit or weren’t very good. * GTD and long todo lists. I find that I just end up doing the tasks that I’m not avoiding and get done everything but what I want to get done. * Watching endless youtube videos or reading books about beating procrastination
