- fsckboy 2y ago>all the boring bits your problem is not focus or willingness, it's being motivated by excitement rather than perfection. it's about the object, take yourself and how you feel out of the equation.
- berkes 2y agoThis is also a personality trait. Where ADHD has this in the extreme. I, having ADHD, cannot do any task if it's not motivated by excitement and newness (or forced by raw discipline, which is extremely energy consuming). Your comment sounds like "it's just a matter of changing your mindset". Maybe I read that wrong. But I know it's not just mindset changing. It's, e.g. with ADHD fundamentally wired into a brain.

- ninalanyon 2y agoOf course. Bit it's an awfully big IF.
