ADHD procrastination isn’t laziness; it’s a nervous system seeking safety. Interrupt the loop by making the first step irresistibly small, loading it with context, and letting Chaos catch you before avoidance wins.
Prime Before the Dip
Visual prep
Lay out materials the night before and attach a sticky note stating the first 90-second action. Visual cues reduce task initiation friction.[1]
Emotional scripting
Ask Chaos to send a supportive message before the task window: “Let’s try the intro paragraph together; perfection isn’t required.” Compassionate language improves follow-through.
Use Context-Aware Nudges
Location prompts
Enable geofenced reminders so the assistant triggers actions when you reach your co-working space or sit at your desk.
Micro accountability
Invite a friend to a Chaos body double session or join the app’s focus rooms. External accountability can reduce procrastination by 21 per cent in ADHD adults.[2]
Celebrate Quick Wins
Momentum reviews
Ask the assistant for an evening recap of completed steps and a kind reminder of what’s next, directing you to our 14-day sprint framework.
Procrastination loses power when your system anticipates dips and meets them with gentle, structured support.
