And that's on procrastivity ๐ฉ Why do people with ADHD do this?! Procrastivity is the act of procrastinating on high-priority tasks by doing other โbusyworkโ instead ๐งผ Executive Functions are a range of cognitive skills mediated by dopamine, the neurotransmitter thatโs likely deficient in ADHD brains ๐ง ๐ Some of these skills include; โซ๏ธ Working memory โซ๏ธ Organizing our thoughts โซ๏ธ Time management โซ๏ธ Attention regulation โซ๏ธ Activation of and switching between tasks Not to mention, perfectionism, negative self-talk, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and/or a fear of failure also play a role in avoidance behavior ๐ตโ๐ซ In cases of late ADHD diagnoses (like many of us here), we have collected so many experiences of perceived failure and inadequacy that formed negative emotions associated with challenging tasks that require unassailable executive functioning skills. #ADHDBrain #ADHD #ADHDLife #ADHDLife #ADHDAdult #Procrastination
