I have a HUGE hard time with procrastination! Glad to know I am not the only one haha. I started adderall about 6 months ago and it really helps live better. I started making lists about stuff I want to do, but I don't get too down on myself if I can't do it all. I try to set plans and rewards for myself. Good luck.

I have always been the same way, a perfectionist to the point of becoming paralyzed. It helps me to break things into small chunks and also to try to get myself into the 'half-assed is better than nothing' mentality. I find that when I start doing something with the intention of half-assing it, I generally am less stressed to start, then once I have made some progress my perfectionism will take over and I will finish up to the best of my ability anyway lol.

I agree with the idea for list making. I find that making a list of things I want/need to accomplish for the day gets me on task better than anything else.

You could try starting a 'bullet journal'. They seem to be all the rage recently. It's just another (actually really neat) way to keep track of things you need to do, things you have done, and take notes about things you want to remember. I think their official website is bulletjournal.com

I also have been dealing with procrastination with school and it is frustrating because I know I should be getting assignments done, but I don't feel like or like you said it stresses me out and that shoots my anxiety up. I try to make lists or force myself to do but I don't feel like I do the assignments the best I can. Any advice for me? could really use it.

I hope this will help those who have posted here. This is what seems to work for me maybe it will work for some of you. When there are alot of chores or homework or just stuff that needs to be done I usually try to do it a bit at a time if I dont it is so easy to get overwelmed. I also do the smaller/easier/quicker items first and that gives me a feeling of accomplishment. It also gives me some momentum to get me thru the harder/longer/difficult items on my list.

The advice about a list is great. Howevever, I usually have progress with small list that I scratch off as I complete. If I create a long list of all the things I must do, the sight of it stresses me out. I hope the list works for you. Also, keep a journal of your emotions and what you have completed. On days when you don't feel so well, you can look back and see what aided uo in those good times.

Well, after I posted this, I made a list for myself of everything I needed to do yesterday and then I kind spread things out over a few days so I wasn't doing everything all in one day. That helped. I even got ambitious and accomplished one thing ahead of time.

However, I also have a problem with lists that are too long or have too many big stressful tasks on them. Then I just panic and get so overwhelmed I can't do much of anything. I have a big problem with that. I've almost developed a list-phobia.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, everyone. I will check out bulletjournal. Sounds intriguing @lzakx

Depending on who you are, this may or may not help. But i usually drink a bunch of red bull and make a list of all the things i have to do. After you do one thing, cross it off the list. Put on the list things that you've already gotten done before you even made the list, just so you can cross them off and feel like you've already gotten the ball rolling lol.
