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?

Do you (OP) have an ADHD diagnosis? Honestly for me the only thing that truly helped me work on things when there wasn’t immediate external pressure/payoff or it being super interesting was medication.
And believe me, I tried a lot of things.
Oh no. I am on meds and I still procrastinate until the last moment. Which often means I’m late because of our beloved friend, time blindness. I’m beginning to think my meds aren’t as dialed in as I thought.
Honestly that’s where I would start. It takes some “no I’m in the driver’s seat, I decide what I’m working on, I decide when I’m done” reminders so I’m working on the right things, but I don’t really procrastinate. Unless it’s something I really don’t want to work on, but that’s kind of a different problem.
If they’ve worked well in the past beyond the initial break in period I know some people do well with short breaks. Five days on, weekends off, though I would want to be functional outside of work days.
