Meanwhile, my wife enables my executive dysfunction, saying things like "oh, just do it tomorrow." I have to explain to her, if I don't do it now, it won't get done for a month. Saying it out loud like that seems to give me the motivation to do it now.

    Hope this works for you for a long time.
    Tho it's good that your wife understands the mechanics behind it.

    (Or maybe she already does and you maybe sometimes need the 'tomorrow' & she is looking out for you/managing your dysfunction better than you might think?)

    Not wanting to be a lazy shit that lets her do all the housework is 99% of my motivation. But when I get the motivation to do the dishes it has to be now or it'll be never.
