And that's on procrastivity 😩 Why do people with ADHD do this?! Procrastivity is the act of procrastinating on high-priority tasks by doing other “busywork” instead 🧼 Executive Functions are a range of cognitive skills mediated by dopamine, the neurotransmitter that’s likely deficient in ADHD brains 🧠 🌟 Some of these skills include; ▫️ Working memory ▫️ Organizing our thoughts ▫️ Time management ▫️ Attention regulation ▫️ 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 😵‍💫 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
