I always put everything off for later so i end up with my house uncleaned, books unread, meals uncooked, programming not learned etc. Could anyone offer advice on how to stop procrastinating?

Set a 10 minute timer, tell yourself to get started and you can take a break after.

Find ways to reward yourself for accomplishing things. Made dinner? Have a nice dessert or watch a new show.

Find alternative ways to achieve the same or similar goals. Struggling to find time to read? Try audiobooks. Want to learn to program? Find a YouTuber you like and follow along with their tutorial.

If you’re like me, then you need to find ways to work with yourself instead of trying to force it in ways that don’t mesh.
