@divergentkellywrites: Feels threatening to me 🤷🏻♀️ I also write about why this happens and how to manage it on my Substack. All new posts are always free ❤️ #adhd #audhd #neurodivergent
it's not starting it's stopping. I'm not ready to stop doing nothing and start doing something cuz the thing is a have/need to and not a want/must, so the nothing is still more interesting/beneficial mentally

Our brains treat the act of thinking like the act of doing, so planning exhausts us before we even start.

And also severely overestimating the amount of time said task will take so you think you’re about to spend 3 hours on something that will actually take 30 minutes

My dishwasher needs emptied and reloaded. Absolutely not today. 😂 Will it kill me? No. Is it a 5 minute job? Yes. It requires moving from my spot and therefore I can’t do it.

Sometimes it feels like I’m “saving it” like starting it is the most fun, I feel most alive with a beginning, so why don’t we save it for later.

But if I already did the dishes and laundry, why do I ever have to do them again? I already did that 😁

Because I’ve never done this exact thing as the person I am right now and it could very well be too much for me I am today.
