99% of productivity advice sucks!
The gurus talk about routines, habits, and tools in a way that makes “just doing a task” more complex than it needs to be.
They’re more obsessed with optimising their productivity routine than they are about actually getting stuff important done.
It doesn’t work for me.
There are thousands of productivity techniques designed to manage every part of your life. But what if we just want to get one excruciating task done — where are the techniques for that?
With this ADHD brain we’re blessed with, we have to take a different approach.
I’m a master procrastinator of the highest order.
I tend to:
Leave everything to the last minute.
Struggle to focus on tasks I HATE.
Sometimes struggle to focus on tasks I LOVE.
Avoid doing admin (paying bills, etc).
Have 1000 ideas, but rarely follow through on them.
I always tried (extremely) hard to beat procrastination.
For me, procrastination used to be an insurmountable hurdle. I had a thousand ideas, but committing to them felt like an uphill battle. Everyday tasks like paying bills, doing taxes, and managing household chores became towering obstacles.
A perpetual struggle.
But over time, I learned to navigate these turbulent waters.
Over six years, through trial and error, I've developed techniques to help manage procrastination — not with medication, but with simple, accessible strategies that can help anyone living with ADHD.
Here are two that work every time:
1) Cold showers
Last night my two-year old son barely let me sleep. I woke up this morning feeling horrendous!
The first two hours of my day were textbook procrastination. Staring at my computer screen, reeling about not getting enough sleep.
Then I took a cold shower.
Within two minutes I was revitalised.
Here’s a TikTok video explaining this morning’s experience:
2) Breathwork
I use Breathwork daily to:
Boost focus
Calm me down
Boost energy
Feel relaxed
When procrastination strikes, this Breathwork technique can snap you out of it giving you 25 to 30 minutes of energy and focus.
I call it Energy Boost:
One second in, one second out 30x (through the nose)
Breathe out, hold for 20-30 seconds
Breathe in, fill the lungs, hold for 15 seconds
Release
Relax
Of course, these are only starting points.
The Anti-Procrastination Technique (for ADHD)
If you're interested in digging deeper, I've created "The Anti-Procrastination Technique (for ADHD)" course.
Procrastination feels horrific.
With ADHD, it often feels 100x worse.
Wrestling with deadlines, leaving tasks to the last minute, struggling to focus on anything long enough to get it done — this is the ADHD life.
We begin to believe we're the type of person that will never get anything done again.
But imagine, just for a moment, a different way.
A way to complete tasks smoothly, checking off items on your to-do list, not just starting projects but finishing them too. That hit of dopamine, of triumph over the chaos in your mind, is within reach.
In short bursts, it's possible to beat procrastination.
That's where "The Anti-Procrastination Technique (for ADHD)" comes in.
This is a simple technique, designed from my personal experience — 6 years of self-experimentation to find a way to master procrastination without medication.
With this course, you'll learn the exact technique I use 3 to 4 times a week to:
Pay bills 🧾
Do taxes 💰
Clean the kitchen 🧽
Cook food 🧑🍳
Plan my week 🗓️
Start (and finish) projects 💪
Meaning that I now avoid fines from unpaid bills, finish what I start, and live in a clean house.
And most importantly, I feel more confident in my ability to get stuff done.
Transform procrastination from your enemy into something you have a little more control over.
Enrol now, and learn the technique that blasts away procrastination.
This course takes just 30-45 minutes to complete. And you can use the technique immediately.
