It’s because you’re exhausting your mind and body at work and the background monkey brain chatter that ADHD gifted us with. A typical brain just says “I’ll do those later” and gets the work done and then goes home to fix their life. ADHD peeps like me, can’t let go of the “do it later” and just reserve it for later, due to impaired executive function.

I’m 45 and prescribed a rather high amount of amphetamines which help me just say “I’ll do that later” and I can count on myself to actually do it later.

high amount of amphetamines

I keep finding myself at a point where it makes me say "I'll do it now" and I start hyperfocusing on the wrong thing for a few hours, or just kinda get tired, go blank, and take a nap.

But sometimes I feel great so 🤷 I'm not even on a high dose right now
