For the last few days I've been home on my own for the first time for a couple days. Normally I'm used to having someone (mostly my parents) tell me what to do, but since I don't really have that right now I'm basically unable to do anything. I have a checklist of things I need to get done, but haven't even managed to really look at that for the last three or so days. I'm either just sitting or lying around doing nothing or distracting myself using anything interesting like my computer or reading books. Does anyone have ideas what I could do to better focus on the important tasks I have? It kind of feels like a blockade of some sorts that prevents me from doing the tasks I don't want to do but are important.

If there's any other more active community on this topic please tell me.

First off don’t beat yourself up over this. Second this isn’t something you can address over night. If you have ADHD meds and you’re not taking them, taking them will help. If you don’t have meds, ask for help from parents or family in finding a doctor to be treated. Another thing is a therapist. Talking about this helps. I also highly recommend DBT therapy.
