Procrastination is one of the chronic problems with those who suffer from ADHD. Psych Central associate editor, Margarita Tartakovsky, talked to some experts who also struggle with adult ADHD and reported on some strategies and solutions for dealing with this procrastination. Here is what she found:
- Set mini goals, rather than long-term goals
- Use technology and apps
- Focus on the end result and how good you will feel once you accomplish something
- Work on tasks for just a short period of time
- Utilize momentum: when things are going good, keep going
- My personal strategy: use the fun enjoyable activities (such as mountain biking) as a reward for accomplishing the tasks I don’t want to do
