I do not. This is like the core of ADHD executive dysfunction. Stuff only happens in last minute panic mode. Meds help some. Anti-anxiety meds help some too. But I got through college by, frankly, just getting better at doing stuff at the last minute. Same thing that keeps me going in the corporate world.

(The pomodoro technique mentioned by another poster is also good though. It’s not a perfect solution, but in some situations it has helped me get started on something to know “I’m not committing to finishing this, I’m committing to working on it for 25 minutes.

This is also why it is so weird and unnecessary to me when people just say that liberal democracy is the same thing as fascism.

Actually it implies the opposite, otherwise there would be no transformation to begin with.

Would you prefer “liberal democracy nearly inevitably leads to fascism”? Stage 1 cancer and stage 4 cancer are both cancer.

Yes.
