How do U deal w/Procrastination? | ADHD Information

How does everyone deal w/the "P-word"??? Why does ADD cause procrastination?

In my case, I KNOW this is what has held me back in life...I have all the passion in the world, yet can't seem to summon the energy or willpower to follow it through...I LONG to complete my projects...I start out like a bullet then poof...apathy.

Can anyone recommend any GOOD INNOVATIVE strategies?

great advice...I'll write it down in a little bit

(just kidding)
Breedlowe...I feel for yoiu and am in the same boat....I have my dr appoint on monday to see if I actually have add or adhd. I dont deal with it right now But I sure know all about the P word...Good luck when I find out how to deal I will let you know...Hang in there all I can say is that you are not alone.

              breedlowe:

       Good questions.


       ADD seems to cause PROcrastination {do you
think just for the heck of it we could shorten it to
PCTN}. because for many of us our ADD is centered
in a part of our brain called the ' pre-frontal cortex '

       This is where our decision making funtions are
located { among other things } so if this is ' short
staffed ' , there is nobody there to make a decision
when needed.

       Limited ' filing ' or memory space is another
common situation we run across also. Since our
internal {brain } memory is very limited { in this
area }, we have to devolp ways to assist our short
term memory.

       WRITE IT DOWN WHERE YOU WILL SEE IT.

      For many ADDrs there is only " NOW and
not-NOW " to quote another poster {thank-you, you
know who you are}

       'Do it now' also can help many people with
pctn.

        PROcrastinate LATER and tell yourself,
"I will just spend 15 min. doing this task " , you will
surprised how often you don't want to stop.

   Of course see your medical professional for any
meds you might need to help you on your journey.

    Let us know how things work out.

Bridget,

Thank U...I really Appreciate that. I'm having a Bad "Head Day" @ work. A bad head day means I can't focus & I get a moderate anxiety attack when I think about the possibility that because of my ADD, I may be stuck here or in a crappy job like this till I die, instead of pursuing my passions: Writing, Filmmaking & Music...

Kinda sad to be not even 35 & saying, "I coulda been a Contenda...";

Even sadder still is having a 2 week old daughter whom I love w/out limit YET still feeling I have a crappy life(w/This Beautiful Bundle of Joy being the only exception)...

Pilgram.

Good advice, i will have to jot that down...

Breedlowe...do you have the baby blues? I did each and everytime I had a child...I have 3 boys. it is common. Mine was overwelming at first but my meds really helped. It only lasted a couple months. hang in there....it will get betterthe only way i can think of to deal with procrastination is take the pills...
really i have tried and tried to force myself to finish editing some stupid
music video and because it is crap i can't face doing it.

rather than just do it - and get it over with which any normal person
would do. if something is even borderline crap i cannot get any
enthusiasm for it. i need someone standing over me with a whip (and
even then i wonder whether i wouldn't choose to be beaten???) hmmm
mental torture v physical torture - don't know.

my brain rebels SOOOO much. i am at war with myself. for me, it's more
than not getting round to doing it - i CANNOT do it, i have to fight myself
and i very rarely win the fight.

or it is excellent and i love it - in which case i can work on it without
problem. or it is no good and i cannot bring myself to do anything with
it... i think primo levi had a good quote (which i am now likely to
misquote) but it was something along the lines of "to do work in which
one does not believe is a great affliction"

i get afflicted. badly.

Sometimes when I have to get something done and have no oomph, I take caffeine pills. I can usually get productive for a couple of hours.

I would not reccommend them if you are nursing. With 2 week old baby at home, you should be tired!

Congratulations! My daughter had twin boys Aug. 27th. What date was your daughter born on?

Brig, Thanks. I appreciate that.

My problem is that I am not an atmosphere that is condusive(sp?) to my creativity...If I had a place to go, a group of Motivated People that were dedicated & PASSIONATE about doing stuff, I could THRIVE...

I am definitely in the DO IT NOW category...If I don't, it WON'T GET DONE...Problem is, long term projects, like my script-writing, have a difficult time getting finished...

If I can learn to EFFECTIVELY & PERMANENTLY DEAL w/The Procrastination Aspect, I can THRIVE & PROSPER & have a FULFILLING LIFE where I can be HAPPY AS WELL AS PROVIDE FOR MY WIFE & CHILD...

"My problem is that I am not an atmosphere that is condusive(sp?) to my
creativity...If I had"

hahahahaha - that just made me laugh. that is such a procastinator's
signature tune!!!!

if only i had, x, y, z! then......

i'm not laughing at you. i'm just laughing because it is SO typical.

you probably would benefit a lot from adderall - are you on meds? it
might make all the difference.

the reason i don't finish things is if they are rubbish or not good
enough.
why don't you try a new script? one that fires you up. you probably don't
really like the one you are working on - hence not being able to finish it
so throw it in the bin. don't waste time on something if it isn't worth it.
as i understand it a lot of scripts as a first draft only take four or so
weeks to write (the re-writing and fitting in with everyone else's ideas is
what takes the time... i think douglas adams said something, boy am i
going to misquote here, along the lines of getting a script into production
is like trying to cook a steak by having a lot of different people breathe
hot air onto it!)

good luck

                         right out of my mouth.   OW, that hurt !Deal with, and procrastination can only be in a sentence of Question, for me.

I grew up virtually "locked" in my room (from what I recall)..so didn't develop a lot of sports skills early...
later on a child and never was smart enough to channel that way...didn't trust myself had a lot of fear....instead plowed through thousands of books and got into dangerous situations by other means…we have so many opportunities where I work that I passed up….but at least I've been on a rafting trip (loved it!) and outdoor trips with the kids, usually canoeing/mountain climbing (never climb a mountain w/a bunch of kids unless they are wantin’ to! can we stop now can we stop now we stop now

but I have thought recently of taking my fist aid (did eons ago) as I have developed another paranoia... I will be somewhere (such as work) and be helpless to help someone if they need saving
it could be that subconsciously I have been preparing myself for something as I put myself into a kind of intensified physical training and now I can bomb up hills on my bike and lift more weight than ever before, you need these qualities to work in emergency situations?
I'm sad I've missed out on so much but I have skied about 8 times, a couple in Fernie which is a ski paradise and I did the intermediate and it felt like heaven flying down cause no other people around to crash into to make me screw up from fear but that never happened again, always had boot problems and a maniac ski fanatic bf who was a wild man even on ice...expected too much from me
thank you for that though, when you're isolated feedback is limited
it makes sense that since I thrive on intense (understatement!) feelings and situations I look to do that in work or volunteer now cause on the meds I can function much better, only it should be less cerebral and more body/physical...I'm not having an easy time at my new job sitting at a computer for hours…

it would be harder to procrastinate in an emergency situation

maybe I should start playing woman’s rugby (over 40 squad), I would either get very popular at work or become a laughingstock

hmmm fist aid..is that a rock concert to help fight-less boxers???

I have realized that human drama is much more dangerous than outdoor sports so now I zoom around on my bike everywhere (I live at the bottom of a big hill..wheeeee!!) and have only broken some ribs and a wrist so far (I'll set off the alarm at airports) ....far better than my earlier choices
and what's the connection between procrastination and "time"…if our sense of time is not the same as others...or is it and that's just a lame excuse I use? I swear people are always saying things about time that confuse and frustrate me.

[QUOTE=sabina]I admire you D2 wordsmith and others like skydiver who have gotten the intensity doing physical things that hurt no one.

I would go work out and within 30 minutes of getting home would have forgotten all about it unless I "killed myself". I used to think any feeling is better than no feeling.

Hey canuckeesabi,

I think what we're finding here is that we allow procrastination into our lives becuase we've learned that executing under pressure is pleasing to us.

Additionally, we learned that we CAN wait 'til the last minute, and still get the job done. Perhaps not as well as we could have given the extra time we did have to do it in, but certainly acceptably enough for the powersTB to not fire us.

Which now elicits the question? Is our mediocre effort (due to procrasting) better than others', who don't procrast?

In thinking a/b all this, this is what I do. I take on projects, knowing that I've a track record proving I can wait til the last minute to fulfill. That's why I make a good lover.

And maybe, maybe, the last minute pressure causes a surge in quality of the project as well?

Hmmmmmm, food for thought. Ooooohhhh, yyyyyeeeeesssss.....

Sorry. Couldn't resist. That Impluss thing, you know, sitting on my left shoulder?

Here's what's on my right:

Here's what's in the middle:

Hey OzzBrookelea,

Mitigate that by taking a note pad and jotting down the tasks. Next time you go to the movies, remember the note pad. Then read your notes. hehe

No, next time you want to go to the movies, RENT a movie instead. Like Malcom in the X, and sit with your laptop and procrastinate another four hours on the only day off, saturday, you had in which to catch up.

Then, deal with procrastination by waiting until the last minute...

do we do this because we need the chemicals to do their thing, when the sense of panic/ anxiety set in ...we do it then cause we know that if we don't do the thing we are supposed to the consequences will be huge (losing job, partner, home) but I have done some of my most creative work under extreme pressure and I'm top notch in an emergency (whereas in normal life I was walking zombie) so is the procrastination thing all linked to...let's say a need to create drama and turmoil or high excitement just so as to get some feeling?

[/QUOTE]wow, that just makes so much sense! People marvel at how calm, cool and collected i am in an emergency..

Procrastination is impossible to deal with for me. I just don't even remember that I am supposed to do something until it is upon me. I don't put things off, I just don't remember them at all!

Since I've been doing my exercises for ADD, I have been a lot better though. If anyone wants to know about them, send me a private message.

Good point, Sabiduria.

I am a volunteer EMT at a ski resort, and I ski like some people like to wrestle on weekends and jump out of airplanes.

However, there is nothing like an emergency to create extreme pressure in which to excel in professionalism and focus.

I was told I do this b/c there is a release of the fight or flight chemical that satisfies a deficiency of neurotransmitters in my cerebral chemistry.

Therefore, I prowl about looking for that next fix, accomplishing astonishing feats in the interim.

kept ya warm in your igloo, though, no? Have your interests changed post ADDerall? Good luck! As usual, you are right, LT; sir.

It is oxymoronical to say "I deal with procrastination"; sir.

LT, Sir? No disrespect; Sir.

I use the two words in one unquestionable sentence; Sir.

"I deal with procrastination by waiting until the last minute"; Sir.

Dismissed, sir...
oh, fist aid? Nah, that's a refreshingly dry beverage that fills your mouth with delightful knuckles...

[QUOTE=sabina]I grew up virtually "locked" in my room (from what I recall)..so didn't develop a lot of sports skills early

... but you've developed some now. That's good!

....instead plowed through thousands of books and got into dangerous situations by other meansï¿½ anything to do with Large Anthropormorphic Eggs on SeaWalls?

but I have thought recently of taking my fist aid (did eons ago) as I have developed another paranoia... I will be somewhere (such as work) and be helpless to help someone if they need saving as a volunteer ski patrolman I wear a uniform, so am mandated to assist. As a civilian, I'm not, but I do for the thrill of it. So what if I save a life, I got a rush, didn't I? One year between seasons I first responded to 21 incidents. One day on duty I responded to 5 incidents in 2 hours. My best day ever was 5 incidents, two were med-evacs (emergency choppers), and two went in one ambulance (usually one per). The other was a simple fracture. Oh, and this is after having to rescue and haul them in off the mountain, and stabilize them before transport.

it could be that subconsciously I have been preparing myself for something as I put myself into a kind of intensified physical training and now I can bomb up hills on my bike and lift more weight than ever before, you need these qualities to work in emergency situations? uhhh, I don't know. I give up. Do I? YES! Depends though. If your partner's buff, you can have a big bum. hehe. No, actually you have to be able to lift and carry a stretcher for a ways. With a big boy or gorgeious girl on it. I think we had a 350 lbr once, but we used four bears. Stretcher bears, that is :)

I'm sad I've missed out on so much but I have skied about 8 times, a couple in Fernie which is a ski paradise and I did the intermediate and it felt like heaven flying down hey, write a poEm: "Like Heaven Flying Down" by Sabina Canuckee. or a country western song. cause no other people around to crash into to make me screw up from fear but that never happened again, always had boot problems and a maniac ski fanatic bf who was a wild man even on ice...expected too much from me Men! are men. They expect women to want what they want! Entanglements and all...
thank you for that though, you're welcome when you're isolated feedback is limited get out of your igloo, off that iceberg, and chill with your friends...
it makes sense that since I thrive on intense (understatement!) feelings bet you make a great tangler and situations I look to do that in work or volunteer now cause on the meds I can function much better, only it should be less cerebral and more body/physical...yes, but a good balance. Skiing satisfied me for years, but then "the mountain got small" until my buddy broke his back, I knew what to do, and the ski patrol invited me to join I'm not having an easy time at my new job sitting at a computer for hoursï¿½ *ack!

it would be harder to procrastinate in an emergency situation no need to. The epinephrine's flowing which is why some procrastinate anyway. Wait 'til the last minute stress so you can feel good addiction thing. Or, alternatively, so you can produce your best under the influence of the epi. Meds should mitigate that, tho.

maybe I should start playing womanï¿½s rugby (over 40 squad), I would either get very popular at work Why? Is your rugby team sponsored by your work?or become a laughingstock [/QUOTE]

yes- if i have no inner enthusiasm, even going to the mailbox is a herculean struggle.

if i'm enthused, i'll go 'till i drop.

but then, getting back to it is nearly impossible.

making phone calls, even when very important, causes the same struggle. esp. if i have to work adversities out w/ someone.(money, schedule, mistakes i've made, if i'm upset at the person...)

it's hard to want to do these 'deal' kinds of phone calls. i get so intense, and even when i'm mild i seem to have an energy that makes people a little uncomfortable and defensive, maybe even a little threatened.

i don't even know how to present myself in a less threatening way. it's not that i'm so angry (sometimes i am.) but even when i'm feeling calm inside, there is still this intensity that others are very sensitive to.

i think even my posts look as if i'm flaming, though i swear it's only because the next size font down is sooooo hard for me to read and concentrate on.

Maybe she's in LA.

Baton Rouge?

Or L.A.

well, outside forces have put an end to my delay tatics and procrastination..I fought back but in the end....
you should have seen them, harassing my boss who then came and harassed me...
I had to put the darned thing up..it's a premmie, forced labour, overdue in THEIR opinion and now I have a letter in my file full of lies

we'll see about that...if ignorance is bliss how come they don't seem happier???

but where's the thread? I lost it, I'm thinking of heading across the street to watch the Italians go for the smelts & I was going to ask them if they had seen any Anthropomorphic Turtles meandering around

, the horizon is awesome right now
Burns Bog? i'm gonna have to google that one

the coyotes are hooowwling again at 10.20 in the morning - i wonder why. there are lots of them here in the hills, you seem them trotting down the road too sometimes looking very pleased with themselves, as if they haven't a care in the world... and all the neighbourhood dogs go NUTS.

i love it up here in the hills. i have humming birds that swwooosh right next to my head - i could put my hand out and catch them as they feed on the flowers. and lots of squirrels who fight and run up and down the tree trunks annoying each other all day. and i am just by a canyon with birds and butterflies and all those good things (and normally it smells good - only when it is wet it smells of cats pee). it is funny to be so close to a huge metropolis but feel that you are in the middle of the countryside at the same time.

yay for Griffith Park and the canyons. well another beautiful day and i got to go...

"i actually work at one of the hightest points in the city..."

you mean at one of those downtown sky-scrapers... the tops of which seemingly float like castles in the sky above the smog line -

i have often envied them their clean air. only the top four or five floors ever get above it though... everyone else has to put up with being in the pea soup.

i took some pictures of them the other day it looks so odd, can't see anything except haze and suddenly some square blocks in the middle of the sky poking out from the layer of smog - the only visible things, floating suspended. its kinda cool (although kinda worrying too - no wonder they outlawed smoking here, just living in this city has to be the equivalent of a pack a day at least).

oh wait just a minuuuuuttte --- rereading your post you said NO. sheesh - why do i never read things properly. ok, i get it. you're in Vancouver. man, i should stop skim reading i see the words LA and i'm like ok she lives here....

sorry bout that. will read better next time. you look after yourself. don't get too cold or nothing up there.

chjones38617.4434027778well, it was really smelly here last week as Burns Bog was on fire. Not sure if it's completely out yet, it usually burns underground for a long time. The valley would have gotten that.
It stinks everywhere in the city cause of cars fumes and where I live gets that too, beach or not but it does move away. I actually work at one of the highest points in the city and the air is supposed to be the best in the city cause of ocean breezes and there is a big forest (tigers and lions and bears oh no!) across the street and forest around us a few blocks away so it is great air up there..until you get inisde that is

gosh, thought I typoed anthropomorphic but I'm usually better at those words than simpler words like sincere, the waves are crashing against the shore big time, rains coming in...

hey...when it comes time to head for the hills Jones you'll already be there!
hey jones
na, I'm in LA mini me

(more beautiful version less upstairs?) my igloo is starting to firm up again..fall hath fallen on us

how cool. hey, have you noticed since it rained it smells bad here (maybe
not for you down at the coast) but up here in the hills.....

oh boy it stinks like an alley full of cats pee ---- what is with that? and
man, did you see the smog line just after the thunderstorm it was like
someone had painted a line in the sky --- amazing! i was blown away,
why so definite - is that normal or peculiar???

it's nice to know you are in LA. hahaha - well, tomorrow i am going for a
girls lunch! planning to get completely pshyte-faced before one o'clock
in the afternoon and then some! ----

but just wanted to say hello - as you are in the 'hood.

Sabina,

anthropomorphic, duuuuuude!

sabina - you're in LA, right? despite posting saying Canada or did I get
confused.

the question really is...how do the people around you deal w/your procrastination???
...got hauled into the 2nd in command's office today and told had to get my portal up by Wednesday and the party line was
I'm brilliant and creative and my stuff is outstanding, amazing but he thinks I'm a perfectionist (whhhhattttttt????) and I have to lower my standards cause the place can't do those standards (he's only been there two years, no one else from admin compliments me lololololol)
what a bunch of ignorant self righteous nonadd's (the people who contacted the Head)....who are so in the dark, they just want what they want
then when things don't work or there isn't enough for them they'll bitch about that...ha! Let them

God save me from upper middle class and rich unconsious nonadds

oohhh, where's the question again? The pms has wrestled the Adderall to the ground, pinned it and render it helpless.
my interests haven't changed yet...I am just doing things I wasn't doing … I rode my bike down to the West End the other night about 9:00pm …the real interest is well...I'll have to quite disassociating every time a guy talks to me if I'm going to step into that quicksand again.
Next time I'm bringing a shovel

sorry, backhoe

Hey, you turned me blue again! I like that. Black posting is my depressed color. I mean I like no-naDDs. Hmmm, could've fun w/that... back in a few shakes of a no-Nadds tail... ooooh, yuck. Don't think I'd touch a No-nADD. Especially their tale.

So, why haven't you answered my question? A/b the LAE? On a SeaWall? Is that a black color for you, perhaps? Sorry... so knownADD of me.

Yeah, I had a sorry backhoe once. I went broke trying to keep it running.

I wasn't that good a hoe skinner anyway. Me and my buddy were partners, I'd find the work and he'd run the hoe, and I'd run the dump truck. Then he broke his back skiing and I broke our company without him, so it was a sorry hoe of a tale.

Back to the Q, didn't mean to be mean and get you all ADDed up. Once you were talking about a wall near the sea, and sitting on it leisurely. That made me think of a Large Anthropomorphic (hey, I spelled that right the rfist try!) Egg. As in all the Queen's dissassociated men who (and for the life of dying don't know what horses had to do about it, unless the author was ADD or seomething) couldn't put him back together b/c the Candian Police were Mounted and all tangled up so there was no ADDerall to glue him *ack! together again. Whew. That was hard to get out.

And I can't remember my Q now, and don't know if I even want to, but knew you'dn't answered it, and I'm soooo persnickity a/b that word I can't remember. Not details, but something like that. Darm. My meds're we'reing of. Not procrastination either, but it starts with a "P", just like a good phsyt. I'm so provigil about finishing what I start. That's not the word either, but ti gets the mean acorss. Oh well. Tomorrow will tell. Thanks for tyring, though.

good lord david i thought you said me and my hubby and started to worry about you....after i reread it for the third time realized it said buddy. maybe i better get some shut eye or something...whew.

Just a simple, lowly, school teacher

However, for some reason, People with problems are drawn to me, or I to them, I have no idea which... It almost seems like a talent..

My brother had epilepsy as a child ( guess who he called before the seizure?)

Brother in law also had epilepsy, along with 2 different best friends who had the condition as an adult. 1 Best friend with suicidal tendencies along with the epilepsy. One close friend with an eating disorder, A sis in law who is BiPolar and diabetic..And a husband with Vasal Vagal Syndrome ( A fancy way to say he faints and gets an extremely slow heartbeat)

Yep had my share of excitement, Been through calming others down when they witnesssed seizures for the first time, Calming a mom down when her daughter cracked her head open on a brick wall, My best friend actually had a siezure at my wedding. had to tell everyone she was fine, just lay on the pew and get on with the wedding haa haa!! The latest one was at a Benegans in Florida when hubby hit the dirt after a day at Disney World.. Had to make someone take my histerical daughter to another part of the restaurant while I asked the manager to please call an ambulance... no I lied that wasnt the latest one..l. the latest was when my hubby fainted while he was driving with my kids in the car.. Had to leave work get my kids and go to the hospital... THank God my son is cool headed.. he told his older sister what to do then flagged down a SBC guy to call and ambulance...

I've always joked that I thrive on Chaos,, maybe it's closer to the truth than I think.

Yes. I take 60 mg RitLA daily, 3 doses of procrastination as well. Then i mix in some impulsiveness, and shake togethr with some distractionn. Chill, then pour.

Nah, RitLa only has minimal impact on overall procrastinaion. I deal with it by wiatining until the last minute.

Jey, I think I'm breaking the law here operating dangerous machinery while on Ambien. So, thiw iw all ke wrote, folks.

I procrastinated for sooo looongg that many people just gave up on me...I've never dated (what's the point??????)and I disassociate if I go out with girlfriends somewhere where men talk to you and strange men talk to me...I've put off dealing with this stuff while I was busy being adhd...
out of your igloo, off that iceberg, and chill with your friends...
