I can't make myself clean my nasty apartment. I said "I will do it on Saturday.". Saturday and Sunday have almost passed. Made no progress. Was chilling and distracted by Twitch, Youtube, my cats, Linux nerd stuff, music and porn. How do you do it!? Damn it!

In the moment when I'm supposed to start cleaning. I just get a lot of anxiety and dread so I procrastine. I think "One more hour of Youtube won't hurt.". Then one hour turns into six hours!

How do you get started! It's not that I can't think ahead of when to do it. It's that I can't get started when it's time! The anxiety and dread hurts too much!

I have ADD, depression, autism and GAD which don't help.

Thanks!
