here’s something i’m working on that has been helping a lot but it’s still hard find some way to fixate on your future self and the associated feelings of accomplishment such that you can start forming reward pathways to the present start by noticing really noticing how it feels when you accomplish something when it’s done not the feeling of doing it write down how it feels or do anything to remember the good feeling of accomplishment and the associated benefits you can keep a journal of completed accomplishments and their benefits for me this has been more beneficial than a list of shit i need to do still need those obviously so it’s backwards— those things happened in the past but the idea is to get the brain to start feeling the impending reward before a necessary task is started this can be done even with showering or eating or getting to bed on time they don’t have to be big accomplishments just write them down remember how they felt and reread your accomplishment journal when you don’t feel motivated to do anything
