Maybe this has already been said, but managing ADHD is hard and it’s probably at the center of your issues. It makes your internal motivation much more emotion driven than others who are rational about why they start their work without ceremony. What I have found helps _me_: journaling, meditation and exercise (in this order). You have to work through your motivations and put meaning behind what you do yourself. I have found that I need pure emotional energy to start on work. In many situations, I figure that out by reminding myself why I have the job and what purpose it serves in life. I also make sure to remind myself that these problems are not insurmountable. The galvanize step comes from within, so you need to reason through your motivations and align yourself internally. All of this is helped by journaling for me. I know it sounds cliché but it really helps me when I am motivated enough to actually do the journaling. Meditation helps me with cultivating focus. Mindfulness practices in general train focus very well and do so in a low effort way. It’s sort of an automatic output of doing the mindfulness exercise. Exercise I’ve found just makes me feel good about me and that helps a lot! Best of luck and I hope all this helps. Also, BIG SAME. I’m rooting for you!
