Best app to stop procrastinating with ADHD (2026)

ADHD procrastination isn't laziness — it's a starting problem dressed up as a discipline problem. Blockers treat the symptom. Here's what treats the start.

Website blockers remove distractions but leave you staring at the task. If nothing lowers the activation cost, you'll find a new distraction within a minute.
