I always put everything off for later so i end up with my house uncleaned, books unread, meals uncooked, programming not learned etc. Could anyone offer advice on how to stop procrastinating?

Break the task down into bitesize chunks and then just do the first one. The dopamine hit from completing the first part will help your executive dysfunction.
Example (do the dishes):
Once you do 1, you’d be surprised at how easy 2 is, then 3, then 4 and then the rest of them.
It’s a skill, so it’s not something you can just click your fingers and do, so work on it, and develop the skill over time. It’s tough, but doable
