Maybe, but it does seem to cause trouble. I think of mine as requiring an attention threshold to be passed for me to switch tasks; the cost gets higher if what I'm doing is interesting to me (often more interesting than eating, which is a problem). Stimulants raise my baseline interested score so that I only need something to be say 50 interesting score (+ 50 from stimulants) to switch tasks rather than 100 interesting score. I have no idea how accurate this model is, but I do know that remembering to do anything administrative is difficult; even with reminders everywhere. Somehow I can always make time to marathon machine learning dev or video games though... Edit: This study[1] claims in a rather offhand way that up to 65% of ADHD people keep it as adults. It also shows how feedback (making a task interesting IMO) is super important for us. Probably why I'm a good programmer and awful at lots of other things. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27394915 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27394915
