    Honestly it’s more like

    Oh boy, a well-defined task with a beginning, progress, an end, and an obvious benefit to someone! I get to be valuable!

    versus

    I have several days’ worth of clean clothes, there is no need to rush

      Yeah, tbh, I tend to not do a lot of my chores because… I don’t feel the need to. Why clean when I’m ok with the current level of dirtyness? Why wash when I still got clean stuff that I want to wear? Etc.

        Just realize that your level of comfort with dirt and debris can change gradually. And all of a sudden, you are hip deep in trash

      Exactly this, for me at least.

      I was a failure relative to my peers in my late thirties, got diagnosed with ADHD and it’s insane.

      So before I always wanted to be a software developer but I couldn’t finish shit, and just procrastinated and kept learning but never progressing.

      Afterwards, I am now a software developer and working from a massive spec sheet has kept me engaged the whole time. I still suck at planning but give me a plan and I’ll knock it put the park.

      What remains to be seen is if I still have the same vigour, 1 year, 2 years in etc.

        Try doing it out of spite.

        “That lump of shit in my cranium thinks I can’t do this task, well, I’ll show you, you glob of expired tapioca pudding!”

    I am still fighting with back pain from last weekend, when I helped friends to carry 9 cubic meters of firewood. Would help again any time.

    I am also, in this very moment, fighting to get up from my couch and start, at the very least fucking start my washing machine or dishwasher. I am loosing.

    With this site I feel it’s like… aren’t these problems everyone suffers from? Or am I just projecting my potential fear of having a condition 😅

      As has been said previously to this question: most people likely have issues like this from time to time, what makes it problematic is having them almost constantly and to such a degree that it’s crippling.

      Everyone coughs from time to time, but if you have a chronic cough that’s so bad that you cough up blood every time, that’s not normal and you need to see a doctor.
