Lately, Iβve been thinking about how much we beat ourselves up trying to be productive like machines. As a doctor, I always see people frustrated because they can't follow a rigid system, feeling like they "failed," when in reality, our brains just have a different operating system.
Quick fact: the ADHD brain doesn't care about what's "important" or about "consequences" in the usual way. It sparks with Interest, Novelty, or Urgency. Thatβs why when we are passionate about an idea, we hit that hyperfocus mode where we are unstoppable, filming or editing for hours. But if a task is boring... the brain simply doesn't "start."
Itβs not a lack of willpower; itβs pure chemistry.
Tell me I'm not the only one who only performs when the topic is exciting or when the deadline is literally on fire! π₯π
