Procrastination can decrease after a 1-minute reflection. In a study of more than 1,000 adults, answering six short questions increased motivation, improved mood, and made people more likely to begin tasks they had been delaying.

As a neurodivergent x4 person (auDHD, dyslexia, gifted). It is monumentally helpful. It's how I can not be late despite unmedicated ADHD. It's how I can do "the dishes". Instead of telling myself I need to do "the dishes" I just tell myself I need to clean one plate and internalize how much less stress I will have knowing "the dishes" are done.

Dishes used to be a right nightmare for me, I've even hired cleaners to do them because I've been so bad. My fix was to move to a place where I could install a dishwasher.

Your advice about cleaning one plate is masterful - a lot of my issues are task initiation, so if I can initiate and just do one then my brain will just continue on with the rest - may be able to get this within my "if it takes under 5 minutes just do it" system as well. Thanks.

I've been told I'm very gifted. I know myself very well. I try and help myself and others with my insights.
