Methylphenidate.

Modafinil, along with redundant calendar, alarm, and Alexa alarms and reminders.

Try to research the task, and why there should be importance placed upon said task (whether it’s the end result or something else).

Most things have some importance to them, it’s just that I don’t often take notice of it until it’s pointed out to me - so I try to make it so I can point it out myself, if that makes sense.

To Do lists coupled with the above helps as well, though to each their own.

I mostly have issues starting a task but once I get going I can keep going for a while as long as I have music and am not interrupted.

I’ve started using a stopwatch, and my aim is not to complete the task, but just to spend time on that task and nothing else. This does 2 things: 1) just the fact I’m on the tasks moved me forward more than not being on the task. 2) as its counts up, not down, I am just interested in increasing the number, so every 30 seconds or minute or 10 extra that I do makes the number bigger and the dopamine higher.

I combine this with a habit tracker (literally called habits on android store) so I can try and beat my last high score etc.

I don’t set myself any targets etc that would cause me to feel shame (and then procrastinate due to that shame), so it lowers the barrier of startinf sufficiently low so that I can get on. And then the flow starts to kick in and we’re off…
