You just do it. Over and over, until you get used to it. (It being: doing stuff you don't want to).

At least this is what I've been trying for the past five years, specially after the pandemic (which sucked the last drops of motivation) and a child (which showed me that I can indeed do stuff that's required but not desired).

It sometimes works, it somestimes doesn't work. But sticking to it seems to be the whole point, so I'm trying. What could I lose, right?

Also take all the advice from this thread and experiment with it as tools: find the tools that work for you and keep them around. Reach for them in moments of need, but also accept you can't always use them all the time and it's OK.

Seeking an ADHD diagnosis/treatment might also help, but it won't magically solve everything. It's a tool just like the others.
