Dr. Tracey Marks has a fantastic video about low motivation and procrastination for those with ADHD. Something I can definitely relate to as someone diagnosed with ADHD. I used to think I was just “lazy”– but it’s a brain problem. Your dopamine pathways are disrupted. ADHD is associated with problems with concentration, focus, attention, impulsivity, distraction, hyperactivity. But it also cause impaired motivation.
It’s also a great video to procrastinate to when you’re feeling despair and have low energy to do The Thing. But it helps to know what’s going on, and that in this big wide world, you’re not alone. Many of us struggle to do The Thing!
