This part. Putting shit off just forces it to stay in the back of my mind like and extra process in windows just stealing my RAM memory leak style. If I at least work on it then I feel a little better.

There's nothing wrong with us - it's the rest of the world that's too severely fucked up to deal with. When you're not a control-freak bully, it's hard to be motivated in the face of all that hopelessness.

I mean, I get the sentiment. But after decades of dealing with it I'm pretty sure ADHD sucks any way and I'd like a refund. Nobody should have to deal with this crap.

I agree with both of you, actually:

ADHD sucks big floppy donkey dick, but the way society tends to be set up to fit one way of living (which is mostly incompatible with ADHD) makes it MUCH worse than it has to be!

I have playlists devoted to getting shit done.

I have one for early mornings called "Let's Get Stressed" that has really fast pace stressful music like 'Savages' by The Handsome Devil

Another for cleaning which is a bunch of Disney songs alongside songs like 'DO SOMETHING' by Akira the Don

Establishing a daily routine really helped me out. The power of will isn't reliable, but habits are strong - you are what you've used to do on daily basis. Ten push-ups are better than no push-ups at all, but in a while, it gonna be twenty and thirty. When I started to use time/task trackers (super-productivity in my case, since its FOSS and has features for ADHD), it gave the feeling of continuous progress: do a small thing, check the box, move to the next one, and you are doing well!

Speaking from experience, this is so damn true.

Yup! I did pretty much exactly this with biking: I started off a couple years ago doing just a couple minutes a day on my exercise bike, then 5 then 10 etc.

Then eventually I got a better exercise bike and the Kinomap app and started to do variable speed videos from the real world.

10-20km flat routes at first, but eventually I got where I can do all the toughest Tour de France mountains and my longest route was a double century (over 200km).

I also got an outdoor bike in October, starting off doing just short shopping trips in addition to my exercise biking, gradually building up to where I do my exercise rides outdoors when the weather's good enough, use it as my primary mode of transportation, and have completed two outdoor centuries so far with many more to come 😁

Unfortunately, I crashed a few weeks ago and haven't been able to ride because of my injuries, so I'm pretty much back to most of my bad habits from before right now 😞

Hard to do things when you don't have the means of doing them, and those means are locked behind the assumption you already have the means of being able to do things. Society is a giant catch-22.

well you certainly were able to respond. and i mean it. doing things is the only way to feel like you can do things. Even if you do them shittyly or badly, doing them is the only way your brain will learn it can do it.

Else, it learns it's helpless and useless.
