getting dopamine for thinking about a task but not doing it is literally a symptom of adhd. brains wired with faulty dopamine receptors will get some dopamine for thinking about it (novelty! urgency! this is interesting!) so it is high reward/low effort, but the actual task itself will feel like a chore because the dopamine reward will be insufficient to make it worthwhile, so it is low reward/high effort.

adhd brains are literally not able to function the same as neurotypical brains. the fact that many people in dwrp have adhd/audhd explains a lot about why this hobby has such an issue with "flakes" and maintaining motivation.

i am a huge flake and i was recently diagnosed with adhd. being on meds has helped a lot but i also still need to work on personal discipline and habits.

one thing that was becoming a bigger issue was that while i had plenty of plans and ideas for improving myself and my life, actually applying myself to it was a physical challenge. and i mean it literally - if it wasn’t giving me the dopamine hit, i could basically feel myself shutting down and unable to pay attention. the same thing happened when i was doing the ADHD test actually - i did fine during the quick responses part, but once things slowed down i felt myself feeling falling asleep because i was “bored.” its how i also learned that fatigue can present itself in adhd and it’s not just the stereotypical hyperactive kid bouncing off the walls.
