Phone! Or moving around the stuff on my coffee table! But food shopping, bill payments, general cleanliness of my flat just doesn’t get done? Any suggestions please? 🙏🏻

I like changing wallpapers in the last minute of some deadlines QwQ I feels the same. Maybe write it down and do it later could help. But sometimes something in my head tells me that I have to do it. So i just let it be and do it as quickly as possible:)
Sometimes it works if I “allow” myself to do something that is really not that useful - but only after doing some “must dos”. Or I rate “must dos” as XL tasks in Numo so I get at least a lot of Karma Points 😜. And breaking a big task down into baby steps is also a good way to at least start.
I'm in my best workflow, if I accept the stuff, I want to clean/range, and then to change to the stuff I have to- It's like I need to proof myself I can do stuff, and after to hours I manage a small slice of stuff "I have to" it's why I start my numo list with prepare coffee... i would never have a problem about hours with that, but writing an email could start with- "press power button of the laptop, get an idea, what I write, bring it in order, scan documents, send it" Something like that, I hope it helps a bit. "Executive Disfunction" might help you as a term.
There really good hacks! Thank you for your help!🙏🏻
What you can try: Doing it with other persons, f.e. body doubling, I like to prepare laundry if I'm on the telephone with friends, for bills, I pay them in the moment I get them in my hand-Or- if it's not possible, I set an alarm clock in my phone!!! And: you are here, you have already started, getting better. For body doubling there are apps out there as well! Good luck, with working out, what helps you the most.
