“People with ADHD put off doing boring tasks. We don’t tell ourselves we’re avoiding the task because it is boring; we tell ourselves we don’t have time.”
When I need to unpack a suitcase I think, “It has to be unpacked sometime, so why not now?” I know that completing the task makes me feel better about myself. It makes the room look better. It allows me to have the items I need readily available. When we dislike a task, we imagine how long and unpleasant it will be to complete. Surprise! Unpacking took me 10 minutes.
As a reformed do-it-later person, I notice how hard it is for people with ADHD to complete boring tasks. A niece wipes up a spill then leaves the paper towel roll on the floor. A friend doesn’t open her mail and won’t learn for weeks that she’s overdrawn on her bank account. A son works on his tax return the day after it’s due. A friend’s child plans to sell car parts on Craigslist but never posts them. The car parts sit rusting in his yard.
What tasks are you avoiding? What harmful habits need to go? Then ask yourself, “What am I willing to do to change?”
