i dont know though that affirmation about equating time spent planning and time spent carrying out the plan sounds dismissive of adhd problems   iirc i remember reading that our brain get rewards imagining things before theyre realised so for example we shouldnt brag too much about our new diet because we can lose motivation from the compliments we receive when were still far from the goal or something like that  but when i plan things is because im literally lost and dont know where to start and i have to write down everything or else ill forget steps and detailsif i feel accomplished after planning isnt it because it is part of getting it done and if i dont carry on doing the project is not because i feel accomplished already its because i lack executive function i dont feel like i already executed the plan i think constantly about what i should have done but cant do it anyway  i can plan or not but the results are the same only thing is that i can get lost in the planning because it is entertaining to research and hyperfixate on stuff but its not the reason why i dont finish the project imho
