When you’re not doing things you want (to want) to do, what are you doing instead?
E.g. are you doing things that still require longer stretches of attention/focus, or several short stretches of attention/focus?
(I’m not a doctor or even remotely an expert on the subject, but I do have a son with ADHD.)
- luka373 3y agoWhen I procrastinate, I tend to engage in activities that provide quick dopamine hits but require little sustained focus, like browsing the internet, responding to messages, scrolling social networks, or getting pulled into unrelated side projects. But those times when I do what I really want to do, I feel really good.
