If the stuff you're relating to is a major or at least extremely consistent bit of your daily life, I'd probably talk to someone about it, especially if the stuff you're relating to is a significant problem for you. Talk to someone who specializes in ADHD if you can, gen practice doctors can be depressingly ignorant about it and the Dx process. There's a lot of other comorbid BS that can come along with ADHD that's worth doing a little research on as well, because you're unlikely to have just one of 'em if you have any. (Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Autism, alexithymia, vertical heterophoria for some reason...) Worst case scenario, you'll be better educated on the subject. Best case, you understand *yourself* far better, and/or have new answers along with an asston of new questions you didn't know to even ask.

With gathering fruits and vegetables you have a collection of things to look for, and get rewarded for searching the correct type of place pretty immediately, while hunting you get a lot of fast feedback in the form of tracks, and finding tracks is a small immediate reward, weather that be "that's a fresh track, we are getting food tonight" or "I did good, we are getting closer" (large game hunting was traditionally a group task, as not only were the weapons less effective at quickly killing, and pray could be bigger, but you also needed to fend off anything drawn into the heavy raw meat that smells like food to every carnivore a mile downwind) That's all instant feedback, unlike textbooks that even my ass who didn't have social media or a phone as a kid couldn't sit down to read, despite being a bookworm, and literally didn't understand anything in my math books until I was looking at a problem to solve and looking back, despite being a straight A math student, until proofs came to be important.

Specifically Immediate feedback that gives enough of a dopamine hit for people with ADHD. I guess people with ADHD can do it faster in the right circumstances because they’re more likely to get addicted to things/they crave dopamine more (and they can be motivated unlike with depressed people), so they want the next reward more immediately than people without it. And ADHD people are very bad at being able to shift their attention away from things they’re finding rewarding, which leads them to ADHD hyperfocus on it until they can’t get anymore dopamine from it, so they’re less likely to get distracted from it or take breaks, which speeds it up, tho I think it can lead to a crash/come down afterwards. This might not be good with long tasks because ADHD hyperfocusing for a long time means sitting in one position for hours and avoiding sleeping, drinking, eating, going to the toilet, and replying to people. But ye Thor’s right, learning needs to be gamified …And I just ADHD hyperfocused on repeatedly editing this comment for 33 minutes because I was finding it rewarding

Y'all are not alone on this. I was diagnosed before I could even remember, back when they were still calling shit high functioning Asperger's Syndrome (under current terms I'm both Autistic and ADHD) and not only did the diagnosis not tell me anything, but rather all it communicated to child me was that I was now branded to be stigmatized, the special ed classes I grew up in literally didn't teach me anything about it or how it might affect me, and my mother claims to have read about it back when I was young but that clearly didn't stop her from mistreating and neglecting me or from spouting some pretty ablist shit throughout my entire life, thus further perpetuating the stigma. I literally lived my life in a state of pseudo-denial, where I knew I had it but rejected any kind of affirmative care options concerning it out of shame, due to this state of taught ignorance until about 4.5 years ago when I stumbled upon a detailed outline of how Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender is NeuroDivergent (or, at least, a peak example of how NeuroDivergence often manifests in and affects people). Not only did that start me on my journey of self-reflection and healing at 24/25 years of age finally, but it also deepened my love, care, and respect for Zuko as a character to a completely new level.

Not only does this model let ADHDers tackle it to the same degree as a neurotypical, but they could likely focus much better as ADHDers can focus insanely on tasks that give dopamine (e.g. hyperfocus). The difference between the methods would be insane 😂 unlike neurotypicals who may just enjoy it a bit more (which is obviously more preferable regardless of whether they have ADHD or not)

Honestly as someone with ADHD you're absolutely right it's all about tricking your brain into working. I know that I can't sit down and study for hours, after 20 minutes I lose focus. So when I was in school I started watching videos while I studied. By splitting my focus between two things I was only ever giving 50% to either but I could do that for hours. So instead of studying for 20 minutes I could study for 6 hours straight. Granted I'd only get 3 hours of actual work done, but it was better than only 20 minutes of work. Like Thor said I hacked myself, got into university, did my degree, graduated top of my class, did my masters on a full scholarship all by figuring out what worked for me rather than what worked for other people.

At least in theory, it should keep you from tunnel visioning too hard or spending so long stuck that it devours all your energy and you end up stuck in brain-dialtone mode all day, and the list should help ensure you don't forget to come back to it.

The ADHD brain is starved of Dopamine and Norepinephrine. So they seek out tasks that provide these, this can lead to easily becoming addicted to quanta. However, this is counteracted by the short reaction time of these neurochemicals and diminishing returns, leading those with ADHD to quickly pick up and drop habits. A common side effect of this is the establishment of synapses between related tasks (Hebbian Learning), leading to synaptic plasticity that leverages a significant amount of edges and less nodes in their neural graph network. I can see this potentially being a mutation caused by increasingly complex environments and shorter attention spans.

Its crazy because its so clearly not laziness or lack of motivation, its that if a task feels meaningless then ADHD will make you feel like its not worth doing.

The nights he thanks me are the days my morning crew ends up having a good start to their day and tell him the store was perfect because i end up going above my required job title and duties to help out.

@leakingamps2050

Not quite - it's not instant gratification, but instant feedback. If you don't get feedback instantly, it feels like you're dumping your effort into a bottomless pit of meaninglessness. As long as the feedback is useful, and not always negative, it doesn't matter if it's a reward or not, we just need immediate feedback. If I do something, and it takes you an hour to tell me, and I know it will take you an hour to tell me if I did it right, I'm going to spend the next hour with a good portion of my working memory occupied with the task I've *already completed*, because it's not actually done until I get feedback. Or, in the event I do mentally finish the task, finishing a task without feedback is frequently worse than (helpful) negative feedback, because it disconnects the feedback from the task, meaning I did a task no one cared enough to give me feedback on, and is therefore useless/worthless, and I'm also getting feedback for a task I didn't do. This might sound silly, but ADHD is a deep alteration in how someone's brain perceives many things, including cause and effect, time, and motivation.

TO couple woth this, I have a job where at any point I can be interupted. A phone rings, now I need to be a sales man. I get Task A, told to put that aside and do task B, to told to be put that aside and do task C. It's so much better when there isn't constant interuptions

I spent hours watching your stream late last night doing nothing but mining. Gained a level out of it. It was more enjoyable than quests for this very reason. Every node was a loot box and it always had something I needed.

As a person with adhd how dare you call me out like this my brain is not some simple jelly lump that you can sidestep with gamifying, also ur entirely correct omfg

Some things I've learned to gamify, whilst others still stump me but I one hundred percent attest to learning things faster than others when there is immediate feedback as he explained.

It’s crazy how overtime ADHD just sounds like higher throughput over time. Your brain just runs at a higher clock cycle and isn’t attuned to slower clock cycles from neurotypical brains.

When I was a little kid, we had a series of computer games for basic math and English. I loved it, and those fundamentals stuck with me far more effectively than anything I learned in school.

Honestly even immediately telling me if I was right or wrong is fantastic as well. As my mind is still on the problem and makes it more likely for me to try to fix it

As someone with ADHD, you nailed it here, this is exactly what doing homework feels like. It's why I'm really into gamedev as well, the instant feedback of hours of programming working is how I can stay focused on it for so long.

This is SO true. I'm a novelist with ADHD and the only way I manage to push out full length novels is because I have a patreon where I get feedback on every new chapter I complete.

Task lists drain the motivation out of me, but the bit about instant feedback is so real. The only job I performed really well at was the one where I got tons of good feedback and consistent interest from the team.

Basically it depends on how the tasks are formatted, at least that's what I'm assuming

No, it is more based on feedback. With no instant feedback, ADHD people just lose interest as it feels like they are not getting anything done. If there is some sort of feedback, they will feel like they are actually doing things and they will find it more engaging.
