it's unfortunate that it's usually portrayed as someone just not being able to concentrate tbh. if it were more widely thought of as "i don't get anything out of doing hard stuff so i'll just do something easy and quick that makes me happy or else i'll feel depressed" there are probably a lot of people who'd get the appropriate treatment much faster

To combat this, I normally don’t talk about the threads I want to do. We can pick a jumping off point and decide on an ultimate theme, but anything beyond that will ultimately ruin it for me and I won’t want to finish it.

When I’m talking about characters with my partner, I try to stick to things that I ultimately won’t care enough to thread, like abstract AU “wouldn’t it be cute if XYZ” sorta talk. I’ll also talk about how much I’ve enjoyed what’s happened so far in the thread, but I don’t like any kind of “what if we do this next?” because then the joy I’d get by writing it is sorta usurped by planning what it is I’m going to write, and the dopamine is already eaten up by talking about the thing rather than doing the thing.

This is good advice, anon, thanks. I'll have to try it and see if I can't discipline myself away from the easy dopamine hit of "just talking about it".
