A large amount of it is managing the delay of gratification; I believe that is what you mean here. It is a discussion in psychology, and you can find a bunch of research on it for instance the marshmallow test.

I would challenge you to do some meditation- like just stopping and relaxing and focus on just your breath, once a thought pops into your head just come back to the focus on your breath. Try it for 2 weeks 5-10 minutes a day record your results.

I have adhd and I suffer the same problems! I am currently in university (IT-Networking security), I do use medication and meditation. I find that motivation is the hardest part of everything even with the medication!

Quick tips(things that help me):

- 43 folders method of organization

- Actively tell your self when you forget or procrastinate, its normal just get back on track and smile

- Make habits through repetition (spend that time regardless if you are able to do it or not)

- Your will power is finite make sure have small meals and a snack half way through each to keep energy up

- Making decisions is very tiring, so be forgiving

- Make everything smaller- if you can reduce the information the easier it is for you in the future

- Always tell yourself: it is easy, it will take no time, get a little done, you don't have to finish it just start it

- Have a beer or do something else like watching tv while trying to start a new habit or task, even though you won't get much done you have done more that you would have with out it!

Sorry if my grammar is terrible, or if this wasn't what you where looking for! It really helped me out to list it all :D

Since I naturally procrastinate it helps me stay in the routine I am forming, with out relapsing. I usually visit when I feel like I need a break, but I feel guilt free since I feel like I learn something while I am here. So I would say the value it holds is aiding me in my productivity by helping control of my emotions.

ALSO no worries I like talking about it; I think its cool someone cares or is interested! :D

I was just reading a book last week on working memory (can't remember the name for the life of me), saying that remaining active helps working memory tremendously. They found that running while bare foot was the best way to increase working memory.

It made me less productive; I rely on it for motivation and have found it to be a crucial routine. Seeing how I got nothing done as a result.
