Has anyone figured out how to start a task? #ADHD
@xanderio nah. Just how to do a deep dive into some obscure new hobby.
@xanderio Yep, easiest thing in the world. But ever finishing one? Straight up impossible.
@xanderio Oh god, please tell me if you find out!
@xanderio Yes, just not the one that actually needs starting
@xanderio pretending to not start it works sometimes
@xanderio oh, I start all the tasks! finishing them is whe

@xanderio Have you tried fear and/or shame? That usually does the trick for me. ๐Ÿ‘โ€‹๐Ÿ˜€โ€‹

@xanderio nope. I've got a on not starting though?
@xanderio One of my biggest life philosophies is : "Ain't nothin to it but to do it."
@xanderio Just make sure you have some other more important and urgent task you should have been doing instead.
@xanderio The only way I know how is to move one thing into place without any plan to do more. That removes the pressure. Think: taking the right colour sewing thread to my machine if I want to get any sewing done in the next few weeks. Or stuff like looking up a name if some task needs that, that sort of thing. Surprisingly, it even works for me more often than not to go do a second thing later and that gets me going.
