There's a theory, if you want to actually do something don't tell many people. It's a common problem, even for those without ADHD.

I skip the tell everyone part so I don't need to feel that bad about not finishing it

Yea, I heard once that you shouldn't tell anyone if you want to do something new. Because telling everyone, already getting respect by everyone and all that even tho you didn't even did anything gives your brain more dopamine than actually doing it. So yea. The trick is to not tell anyone. There is still a huge chance that you won't finish the project, but the chance that you do it is higher and if you don't the shame is lower. But anyway I'm saying this all but I didn't learn from this tipp myself. I also always tell everyone instantly about my new project that I will absolutely do this time! Because I absolutely don't need that trick, because THIS TIME its different. THIS TIME I actually do it. :) yea...

i didn’t need this level of calling out first thing in the morning. 🤣

I'm in this picture and I hate it. And officially I don't even have AD(H)D

I realized that I do the 'tell everyone' stage because I'm trying to recruit a body double so I'll stick with the project 😅

And then the guilt when they ask how (blank) is coming along..

I'm feeling very attacked.
