If I do nothing:

the problem will go away on its own
someone else will deal with the problem
the problem will get so bad that I will feel the terror of catastrophic failure if I don't deal with it, at which point my fight or flight instincts will kick in and I will have the motivation to actually deal with it.

ill admit these comics make me feel like I have adhd. I actually do a lot but the amount of mental effort I have to put into each thing is massive and I have to put myself on super rails. I basically don't do anything like vacations or planned leasure because prepping for it is just more work and im pretty much constantly tyring to catch up with what I need to do dealing with (usually) the most important things first. I spend ridiculous amounts of time just making sure I pay bills and such.

Well, up to you to decide if pursuing an official diagnosis would help you. For the people who do have it, getting that diagnosis and actually knowing what the hell has been going on this whole time is an enormous relief.

Yeah honestly I have a somewhat challenging situation in life so that could be it and honestly how I do things has advantages that I like (passive thought and investigation of things that later bear some fruit in decision making). I view it as im just someone who likes boring safety, security, and consistency over excitement and highs/lows. So im pretty much constantly working to avoid bad times so im constantly working on something and view myself as behind. I have a bill to pay so im behind because its not paid. If I did not do that then im pretty sure I would always be late. ugh. I just paid my property taxes late. 40-50 dollars wasted. Too many distractions.

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
