I read recently that a big factor is motivation for the ADHD brain, where long term reward can be a motivating factor for a non-ADHD brain other things like urgency can be a much more powerful motivator for an ADHD brain. For me, something needing to be done but not urgently doesn’t motivate me at all, but when that same thing needs to be solved immediately I lock in knock it out ezpz
Specifically it’s a deficiency in “Working memory”. In general it means you have trouble holding many things in your memory at once.
I’m fucking amazing at holding context. BUT. Only when shit is on fire. Then I’m like a superhero of holding all the crap in my head all at once.
Regular day at work? Can’t remember what I was doing if I get a notification in my phone and quickly look at it
