 along thinking of you.

Money quote for me was something like the ADHD child has zero self motivation.
All motivation comes from the outside world. Which is why kids can play video
games for hours because there is instant feedback. But when you finish a
problem on your homework nothing happens.

And that there is a extremely poor short short term memory problem.

Tons of stuff.

Maybe you should be doing something else with your life? Maybe you were
supposed to be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a builder? I mean, life is so
short, why punish yourself? I hate this culture of 'hacks' and all this
rubbish to force yourself into doing things maybe you shouldn't be doing.

The only advice I can give (I'm 29) is that my work life gets easier AND more
productive when I think about it in terms of my path to the top of the
mountain. So, pick a spot that you feel represents a point of accomplishment
that you'd be happy to die having done (big goal, tombstone style stuff). Then
as you approach your work, ask yourself "is this a stepping stone on my way to
the mountain?" If it is, you'll find some reward
along thinking of you.
