"Two minutes of effort now will save me ten minutes of effort later" 

This is something I have to remind myself of a lot. I have a tendency to put off the unpleasant, such as taking out the trash. But, putting it off often leads to the issue becoming harder to deal with. What was a simple pulling the trash liner out and taking it to the dumpster becomes reining in an overflowing trash bin and carrying 2+ bags out. Two minutes of effort becomes ten.

It's like the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," or the idea of nipping problems in the bud. Doing stuff before it becomes a problem is much easier than dealing with it once it has. But, ADHD brain. It can wait.
Yeah. It can wait. But it'll just get harder, and you'll only want to put it off more until you can't any longer and what would have been a simple task becomes a seemingly Herculean feat.

Anyways.

There's not really a point to this. Maybe you'll find this helpful. But, this was mostly just me musing on making myself do stuff instead of putting it off.
