yes, and it's biological. I get it from my mom. she would wait til all of her work piled up and then get through it in a flurry the night before. I do the same thing, except I am now at the level where some of my professional work product takes more than 12 hours to complete. it's been a problem, and nothing helps.

    I'm try meds and I don't really find them that helpful.

    My 2 cents I went that route too but quit meds due to emotional regulation issues.

    Talk to a psychologist. The problem for me wasn't the procrastination alone, but the fact it was baked in with a lot of other psychological negatives. There was anxiety and shame tied to not doing things urgently or completing right away and then coupled with decades of shit executive functioning where I couldn't remember a task as soon as I wrote it down or filed it for later.

    The problem is I still don't have a system that works.
