That's all, and I'm serious - who will be my 'crastination champion? Step on up, step on up! I can't ask people I know irl to do it because they'll either get too lazy with it (you see why I am the way I am, huh?) or be weird and annoying about it. Just a DM on a regular basis saying "don't procrastinate today/this week!" (A week might be better tbh) Would be grand.

As someone with ADHD, might I suggest using a task app and compulsively adding stuff? That's mostly what I do, make sure the notification doesn't go away until I've either done it, or have a good reason to snooze or cancel it. It takes real effort to get into the habit, but eventually you just start doing it automatically (it doesn't stop procrastination, just helps get the ball rolling which people with ADHD usually have trouble with). The dopamine hit from completing stuff often is a good way of reinforcement learning to minimize procrastination, and before you know it, procrastination isn't your biggest issue anymore.
