For someone with ADHD, procrastination isn't always what you think it is.
Many times it's something we WANT to see the results of, or something know we NEED to do.
Hate the feeling of greasy hair? Love the feeling of a warm shower? We still struggle to take that shower no matter how much we want it.
And we don't just procrastinate with boring projects like house cleaning or laundry.
We will procrastinate peeing. Eating. Moving out of an uncomfortable position.
Executive dysfunction isn't a choice, it isn't just us being lazy, it's a struggle, and it's not us just putting something off until later because we can.
During hyperfocusing, our nervous system doesn't even signal to our brains that we need to do those things. So we don't. But boy do we feel the effects of it after! Usually pain....
And many times we fail to connect a feeling to a solution. For example, we can be hungry, but it doesn't come to mind that eating food will solve that hunger.
Our procrastination is not always what you think it is.
