It was a phone call. That’s literally it. I spent months procrastinating making a phone call that ended up being short and virtually painless.

    Fucking congrats fella!!!

    I’m trying to do at least twenty… Ten… At least ten minutes of work each hour.

    But I don’t dare make any of the phone calls or emails I’m supposed to be doing, that shits too daunting.

    My credit card has been auto-pay since I got it. I lost my phone and changed my number like a year ago. Most things I was forced to call up/fix the 2FA to point to my new number, but not that… until about 2 weeks ago when it said that the set payment was less than the minimum payment.

    I finally called them up about 2 days ago, assuming it would take at least a half hour. It was like 3 minutes dealing with the stupid phone menu, and then like 5 minutes talking to a really pleasant guy.

    After close to a year, I finally have access to my credit card account haha.

    Congrats, OP. We all know the very real problem that is. I have several of those waiting to get done, some are even things I want to do! You’ve earned a cookie.

    I’m procrastinating a very easy task as well. I’ve been putting it off because I am sick. It’ll take like 5 mins and I just can’t get myself to do it.

    Time management? It sounds more like avoidance of a task that you have anxiety about, which is a very typical behavior of ADHD.
