The "give yourself a treat after" type of advice is pretty shit. I know the guy who hands out the treats, and we're on pretty good terms. I'm pretty sure I can get him to give me a treat without doing the task. Heck I'll probably give myself two treats.

    Well there problem for many ADHD as explained in the post is that we just don't have the dopamine to even consider starting a task, and a little treat gives us that boost to get going.

    For me personally it's often a task that I want to accomplish, I just like can't because brain says no.
