    I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
    I made the most healthy+lasting changes in my life when I began practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my habits (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my youtube channel.
    Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small-ish, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

      I've just had one of those strange coincidence moments when I read your comment! I've been setting lofty goals for a while and ending up disheartened, so today I sat down and wrote a simple goal to regulate my sleep routine, take regular exercise, eat well, stop procrastinating, and stop wasting time on trivial nonsense - social media and games.
      I've given myself six months to achieve consistency over an unbroken period of at least four weeks, so I can focus on each area at its own speed without attempting to make several major changes overnight. (and failing!)
      My reasoning is that I need to establish a solid foundation of productive habits and routines before I can seriously attempt more ambitious goals - get the basics right first.

    Very clever! "Write in the comments one thing you've been procrastinating on and what you're going to do about it" - isn't that going to commit us (in writing too!) to take the action? It's a public statement that could be read by others, so it sets up a commitment to do it. Thank you so much, Jim. I have several important issues I've been procrastinating on and this will help me to move forward. A great, actionable video with no "filler" material or waste. That makes for such a good investment of my time.

    I've been procrastinating over a proofreading course I've been taking for over 4 years. The course can be completed in as little as 3 months, but never let someone with ADHD roam free with zero deadlines (the course is designed to be done in your own time bc it's a brand new skill set and everyone is different in how long it will take to figure it out. Something I only realized recently.)
    School has been the biggest albatross around my neck and I've punished myself for not doing my work by not reading for fun, bc I knew that if I had the time and will to enjoy a book, then I should be reading for school. This only led to mental wreck and ruin, which I realized far too late. I dug myself into a deep hole, and I am now grasping the rope and slowly pulling myself out.
    As to what I'm going to do about this:
    I have set a reminder for noon everyday to turn on my iPad and open the app I use for school. That's my micro-commitment. I know that if I do that, I will begin to read and correct my practice transcript.
    I won't be beaten by this course. I've failed two midterm attempts, so I've been very discouraged recently, which has tempted me into procrastination again. This time though, I am going to defeat this. I am going to keep working and I am going to finish this. My why is all the way over in Sweden, waiting and cheering me on. He deserves this, and so do I.

    Empecé tarde un curso para la Mejor Universidad de mi País, tengo mucho con que ponerme al corriente. Pero entre lo emocional que eso conlleva sueño procrastinar bastante, la cosa es que tengo tiempo, solo tengo que aprovecharlo, no verlo simplemente pasar. Tengo dudas pero en el fondo se que es Muy posible lograrlo, y eso también me aterra y es por eso que debo hacerlo. No dejar el tiempo pasar es lo que haré, voy a aprovechar cada hora y cada momento no solo estudiando si no también logrando que mi vida este equilibrada para que lo que estudie sea provechoso, pero no perder más tiempo, si ya me organize, entonces me esforzaré para seguir al pie de la letra esa organización aún con todo el trabajo extra que eso involucre solo al principio.

    I stopped gyming in 2009, and want to start again. But I have to start slow, I was sick for years, and my body is still weak.
