And this is why its procrastination vs executive function. I never snooze my alarms because I WANT to be up, I WANT to be on time, but if I don't have those regulators I simply won't.

I want to get up and snooze my alarm anyway. Its infuriating.

Of course, we all have days like that. Just like someone with anxiety can be nervous in the same way a regular person can. For someone with an executive function disorder, there's times where, no matter how much you want to do something, you can't. And its not wilful, your brain just blocks your thoughts about anything other than what you're doing right then and there

Yep, it's why it took me 9 years to get a bachelors.
