I am a lazy failure who can't do anything. Basic shit I consistently just... don't do. Its embarrassing. I don't even want to list all of it. I have hobby stuff I've wanted to for years that I've just never gotten set up. Homework? More like I'm not fucking doing that. I've been wanting to take steps for months to get myself on hormones and get clothes but have I done them? No? Of course not, because I'm fucking lazy. All I do is rot. Its been this way for a long time, I can't even remember when the last time I didn't struggle with this. And it doesn't feel like its getting better. If it really is my autism I'm not sure how it ever can get better.

    I think there's a disconnect here.

    Imagine not having anything important to do, having a complex and interesting hobby you'll really enjoy doing scheduled, and then not doing it and doom scrolling all day because of the work required in setup vs lying in bed.

    This isn't a problem you can solve with positive thinking and some project management software.

      It really depends on what the underlying psychology and environment is like.

      Organization and reminders will help in some instances because sometimes all it takes is retraining your brain to think A instead of B when you use a space or do a particular activity. Or to make something less overwhelming by breaking it down into pieces. Something along the lines of CBT.

      But this can also be totally inadequate if something like depression or ADHD or something else like this is a contributing factor.
