If you have chores or a task that you’ve been putting off, even though you know it will take a small amount of time and little effort, but still can’t force yourself to do it…and this is something you consistently do, you might have ADHD.

Executive Dysfunction is a symptom, which is basically that your brain doesn’t give you dopamine for completely tasks, like a neurotypical brain does. For everyone else, they complete a task, they get a dopamine hit that gives them a sense of accomplishment. ADHD brains don’t get that, without a reward for doing a task our brains just say, “I’m not doing it.” And don’t give you the motivation to complete it.

If that sounds like you, do a little research on ADHD and see if anything else fits and talk to your doctor about getting tested and treatment options.

If it’s not you, any of these other suggestions can help.
