I would argue the other way around. I have ADHD, but the thing that really helped me with work procrastination, which I think would help even without ADHD, was to find a job that is actually interesting.

In approx 7 years I went through working at all the top software companies in my country, but what really fixed my problems was moving on to being a researcher at the university. I’m now paid less than half from before, but it’s still enough, and I couldn’t be happier.

Getting to work on what I think is actually important and interesting every day is what helped. I also seem happier than the younger researchers who didn’t work at companies first, who don’t know how good they have it.
