> If you can't make yourself to do something, maybe you shouldn't do it?

That attitude probably works if it’s some sort of leisure activity, but someone who struggles to do routine, necessary tasks might not want to just give up on them.

I totally understand, I can't still make the bed or do procrastinate with many things. Would it be better if I somehow tricked myself into doing them by delegating the decision making process into a third-party? If this worked, maybe. But these tools never work on me as I feel I'm being tricked and get stressed/annoyed even more. I understand everyone is different, but if anyone out there is like me, I'd suggest trying to make your peace with yourself and with all the cool projects you abandon. or get stressed enough that maybe you can change yourself :) If you're depressed, get help!
