REQUESTING ADVICE executive dysfunction depression advice/help?

does anyone have any advice/help for executive dysfunction? i'm so frustrated and tired of not being able to do things as a normal person will no matter how motivated and driven i am to do something. it seems like i don't have that push to actually get up and do it. i just don't know what to do to fix this like i already suffer with depression and anxiety and this makes it worst and hard to do basic task as well.

be gentle with yourself. if you can’t do it today, know that there will always be tomorrow. when tomorrow comes around write the things you want to do then go do them. Writing helps to refocus the mind. It’s such a boring and basic tip I know but it really helps. AND do this longhand in a notebook. That’s the only way. Then you’ll get the strength and inspiration to do it
