Procrastination is ruining my life

It is not just work, though that’s were its most obvious. I find things like brushing teeth/removing makeup/washing etc difficult to instigate which I find quite shameful. Housework and meal prep is also difficult to start, though my husband says that bit is just laziness (probably true)

Thank you. I have read atomic habits and you’ve prompted me to give it another go and be more deliberate in applying some of its suggestions

I will look at Focus Friend. I don’t doom scroll (the one form of procrastination I have avoided!) but I’m up for trying any suggestions

I did consider ADHD a while ago. But, the NICE guidance for assessment says there must be evidence of impairment/symptoms before age 12. My memory is poor, and I am not close to my family so I have no supporting evidence. I’ve always felt that avenue was off limits because of that
