I procrastinate when I am overwhelmed. Good luck OP. Word from the other side of a too big plate of nachos…a treat will motivate you.

I set my alarm for 10 minutes. And usually by the end of that I am in it and cruising.

Yep. I agree with Creative 1. Being overwhelmed makes me shut down. Usually if I pick the smallest thing on the list and knock it out, it gives me the spark I need to dig my way out.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
