For me personally, the trick was realizing that:

  1. I already know it needs to be done
  2. I know I'll feel good for getting it done
  3. I'm not lazy

And then realizing that time blindness has a huge deterministic impact on the causality chain of your life.

Imagine you are doctor Manhattan. Doctor Manhattan has clear view of his entire personal timeline. He knows exactly when he is meant to do what he needs to do.

ADHD makes you completely and utterly time blind at worst, or a bit tardy at average, or on time if you've developed great coping skills.

So the trick I realized is prioritization. You need to convince yourself that the present moment is the point on the timeline you were meant to complete this task.

Anyway I hope that makes sense to everyone. It worked a treat for me.
