I have ADHD and I call this task initiation avoidance, which I derived from the similar community term pathological demand avoidance. It’s fundamentally related to executive dysfunction but more specific.
Honestly: either hyperfocus (mostly only works on tasks I like), setting consequences for not doing it and sticking to them so my brain hates not doing it more, or just… not getting it done.
A lot of the things in my life don’t get done. I’m not on meds because I can’t afford it. :P

How do you get anything done ?
