So what do you do when conventional discipline doesn't work? I'm bipolar, so let's throw every single piece of advice out the window, including any suggestions you think you have for me. :) My solution is managed chaos. It takes advantage of motivation by seeking to reducing activation energy. Start by throwing away any concept of measurement or success. This is a best effort system. - Keep tasks really small and don't commit to them. You need the option to abort early if you lack sufficient energy. If you're sitting down, your only goal is standing up. You can always sit back down. - Forget about efficiency. Seriously. Stop. Inefficient but done is better than not doing it. - If you're motivated to something productive, do it, even if it's not what you want to do most. - Do not "remember to do things". Attention is precious. If something is important, do it immediately or stick it on a calendar to ignore later. (Use timed reminders, not todo lists.) Don't keep them in your head unless absolutely necessary. - If you're not motivated, look for ways to reduce activation energy later. I like to cleaning up or organizing my living area. - If you're going to watch YouTube videos, try to do something else at the same time. Hope this helps someone else. :)
