People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?

Please don’t answer with the “I’ll tell you later” joke.

    Likewise. Meds help me …but so did therapy. I still have to have the mindset right. If I do and I’m on meds then it actually works.

    I totally believe (without any evidence but my own experience) that procrastination for me with ADHD is at least partly a response to prior unhappy experiences.

    Now that I recognize some of the emotional components involved I can work through those directly and have a much better chance of getting motivated .

    And also I still procrastinate plenty and I have come to avoid self judgement. Because beating myself up doesn’t help me get motivated. It does the opposite. I accept that this is a tendency but one that I continue to improve upon.
