Anyone have tips for overcoming procrastination / executive dysfunction? I have this inner voice screaming at me to get stuff done, but sometimes can’t get myself moving and sit on my phone for long periods of time instead. I feel like it’s gotten worse lately with WFH and a terrible case. Any tips?

Do you have ADHD? If I don’t take meds I get overwhelmed too easily with simple things. Work from home + children + the more stress exacerbates it. I try to make a two column list of my must do’s - work / personal and make sure that I make it reasonable because too long a list and it makes it worse.

Also separate “work space” from “home space” as much as you can. If I’m in my office it’s “work mode”

I don’t think I have ADHD but never really been evaluated. My brother has ADHD, and for reference I’m female and I know symptoms present differently in women.

Haven’t really had trouble focusing on 3 hour final exams (or longer) but have trouble focusing on work sometimes / writing papers and getting myself to do basic tasks

Yea definitely a lot of research out there about how it often goes undiagnosed, especially in women. Who do you see for that? A psychiatrist?
