Some days my ADHD brain will let me do literally *anything* except what I'm supposed to be doing. I work around this using a hack I call Procrasti-work.
First, I set myself one task I must complete that day. Then I give myself permission to put that task aside and work on something else, as long as that something really does need to be done.
Eg If I set myself a blog-writing task, I can be pretty sure I'll do a bunch of housework and cook a decent meal.

@Naughtylus in my family we call this #procrastiwork ;) When used thoughtfully, it can be a great way to get things done. The trick is to identify another task that you also don't want to get on with, but that repels you just a bit less than the one you're avoiding ...

@andrioid I agree. I'd have to admit I'm a chronic yak shaver, and it's only one of many forms of #ProcrastiWork I indulge in (arsing about on the #fediverse all day is another one ;) I'd say what whether or not that yak is worth shaving depends on how many people will benefit in future (including your future selves) from not that yak pre-shaved. If it's only useful to your current project, and there's a quicker solution, don't shave the yak. Otherwise, maybe it's worth it?
