I clean my room while the bathtub fills. I do my dishes while the kettle boils. I clear the table while the kids run the recycling to the dumpster.

I hollered with my therapist about this this morning, and she reminded me:

ADHD = an interest-based nervous systems. We are not motivated by any sort of external importance or faux urgency.

We *need* the impending whistle of the kettle to create INTERNAL interest and urgency.
