How to get things done?

How is it that when life is busy and full, I get a lot done, but when the diary is empty and family not around, I just faff about, getting nothing done?
I am really good at meeting deadlines, but if there is no deadline, I procrastinate, until a task drops off my To Do list,
I know in one sense it doesn’t matter, there is no rush, but there ARE things that need doing.

I only recently discovered that this sort of procrastination is a symptom of ADHD. It certainly makes a lot of things make sense. It so tiring too; the amount of time and effort I can put into avoiding a task that would literally take me 5 minutes is incredible.
