The routine stuff is the 'easiest' part in some ways. It's "not having fun" that can really create a drag over the long term:
> Anhedonia is a diverse array of deficits in hedonic function, including reduced motivation or ability to experience pleasure.[1] While earlier definitions emphasized the inability to experience pleasure, anhedonia is currently used by researchers to refer to reduced motivation, reduced anticipatory pleasure (wanting), reduced consummatory pleasure (liking), and deficits in reinforcement learning.[2][3][4]

- sergiomattei 5y agoIn my experience, for an ADHD folk the routine stuff is the hardest. If it doesn't give you a hit of dopamine, it becomes extremely difficult. Anything from homework to daily chores means your brain entering a deep brain fog, almost like a subdued headache. Getting to a point where I have the discipline and self-control to maintain a daily routine has been a lifelong challenge.
