A few times I’ve left my phone on my desk before going to bed and still got hella executive dysfunction.

One time, I missed all my classes that day because I couldn’t get myself to get up. I couldn’t even distract myself with my phone because it was too far away. So I just sat there freaking out that I’m missing class and being unproductive etc. for no fucking reason.

Then someone knocked on my door, I got up immediately, picked up the package my roommate had ordered and, after closing the door, promptly had a breakdown because why in the fuck couldn’t I just get out of bed sooner?!

This was before I was diagnosed. Anyway point is that you don’t need distraction from a phone to not do a task. The distraction probably does help relieve/distract from the stress of “why tf can’t I do this simple thing” though
