I had probably 90 min worth of work i needed to get done yesterday. I hadn't finished by EOD so i told myself fine, I'd just finish before I went to bed.

I ended up going to bed at 5am because that's how long it took me to focus and finish. I don't understand why i do this to myself

Same. Therapist has said this is due to my dopamine-deprived ADHD brain seeking stimulation and adrenaline rushes from almost- missing deadlines. Working on it 😐

Apparently your brain also gets dopamine from completing small parts of a big task so it would help to break it down to prevent this. But…. That takes time and I procrastinate. We’ll learn one day

I have a physical journal with a written to do list broken out in roughly 30 min increments. It's hard to get set up but when I'm using it it works great

I really thought I was the only one who did this. I just can’t seem to find the will to work these days

Sometimes you just need the adrenaline buzz to get you over the line. I do this all the time even though I am old enough to know better (in my 3rd decade of working) and I know its not good for me, but its just how my brain works.

For the life of me, I do not understand why when I tell people that I’m Nigerian, they mention some irrelevant detail about a trip they took to Kenya or a friend they know from Angola. Ma’am/sir, if you told me you were from the USA and I mentioned that I have a friend in Canada, wouldn’t you think I was unwell?? 😂
