100%, especially if I’m watching a show I’ve seen before. Currently watching Parks and Rec for the… 10th time?
There’s something about having an out at any time with the shorter episodes. I know that I’m easily distracted but won’t miss something, because I’ve seen it before. Watching a movie takes a lot more effort because I want to give the movie the attention it deserves, and there aren’t clear intermissions.
BRING BACK INTERMISSIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH ADHD AT HOME
Wow, I love this so much. Great choice of colour for this, it really pops. I might have to look in to doing this to my deck.

As others on this thread have said, ADHD medication at the proper doses can be a real life changer for motivation on these tasks that feel totally walled off.
SSRIs and other antidepressants are super helpful for keeping you out of those deep dark days, but I didn’t find it helped me much with motivation alone. Once I found the right SSRI and the right stimulant medication (Prozac and vyvanse for me), I started finding it a lot easier to just get chores done when I thought of them. If it’s something I can’t do right now (like groceries), I just write it down in my Reminders lists so that I’m not scrambling when I go out to get groceries. The apple reminders app is basically my second brain, and I always write down stuff I gotta do that I’m prone to forget about in there.
Yeah I’ve done this a few times. I used to work in construction, so jobs would often not be quite what they seemed from the job description, and sometimes the hiring people would lie. At one former job, I found out I was getting paid less than I was told in the interview, so I walked out. One job I worked for a day or two until we had to go up on a roof with bare joists and no one tied off. When I mentioned safety concerns they called me a pussy so I walked off. Nothing is worth falling off a roof into a bunch of construction debris.
