god that adhd struggle where you are so motivated to do something but there is just like. A Blockage In Your Body that stops the motivation from turning into anything. so you just like. vibrate. sitting there like yeah, man, i totally want to do that right now. (doesn’t)
i posted this image on twitter like actual ages ago but it just keeps getting more relevant
Here are a few things to try in these cases. They sometimes work, sometimes not.
- say outloud that you want to do differently but are stuck
- count from 5 to zero with the express objective of starting when you get to zero
- tell someone about the thing you want to do and get them to ask about it and how it’s going
- ask someone about doing THE THING “with them” while they do their own thing (with them can be in the same room, while on the phone together, in the same written discussion…)
Hope this helps you doing the thing(s).
