It took me ages to realise this. People with ADHD are always portrayed as lazy but they don’t struggle with hard work, they struggle with boring work. Before I knew I had ADHD I always found I was getting in trouble for not finishing boring work so I always used to prioritise tasks by how much fun they were and start with the most boring. I just ended up getting nothing done.

This applies so hard to programmers, as well. I love making things automated, but I never have the time to make them properly.

"Oh my gosh it actually WORKS!...Whelp, that should hold. On to the next thing!"
