mh, advice requested 

1) I have depression and anxiety. These contribute to my experiencing executive dysfunction.

2) I have a problem where I will see an issue to be dealt with, say "this is too much for me right now" or "I'm already in the middle of something", and then "I'll deal with it later".

Which means it never gets done (or only when not doing it would be excessively onerous).

3) This is NOT standard procrastination and those techniques DON'T WORK for me.

How can I address this?

@noelle what's the problem you're trying to solve? the ability to pick back up a problem you abandon later?

@kobold On a large scale, I need to solve the problem of things (like cleaning my house) not getting done. On a smaller scale, that means being able to either interrupt myself in doing a task in order to do another task, or to successfully remember that the other task needs to be done /as soon as/ I finish what I'm doing.

@noelle timebox tasks maybe? So like "i need to clean the house " becomes i will spend 10 minutes every day, timed, cleaning the house"
