My depression is currently well-controlled at the moment, and I actually have found various methods to help me get things done, since I don’t respond well to the simplest versions of carrot-and-stick methods. The most pleasant is finding someone else to do it with me (or at least act involved while I do the actual work).
On the other hand, there have been times when procrastinating actually gives me a thrill, like I’m getting away with something. Mediocre video games become much more appealing when I have work to avoid.
