I think the really tough part about it is that the same task can be a thick marsh of ugh I either never get around to wading through or somehow get myself through it one day, then the next day it's no problem. And it fluctuates day in day out depending on so many variables.
The toughest thing is the ughness of every task is predominantly dominated by how much Im just dying to do something I wanna do. Mostly all I want to do is just what I want to do, and I'm sure the ADHDers get what I mean when I say that, but there are some days or periods rather where even the easiest tasks I usually am okay at just go right out the window because today I've just learned about the existence of X and I'm totally off in my own little world utterly absorbed by it.
I just have no way to predict when that's going to be either.

I’m a average to below average developer but I make a good living at it, and put food on the table for my 2 kids and so on. It’s also worth remembering that the “ugh” tasks can have potential to be interesting as well - just have to look at them from a different perspective.
