This is going to take me a few posts, bear with me.

I've not had a good day at work since coming back from vacation in September. It's been nothing but a grind and I'm pretty mentally toast. I'm really disinterested in my work right now.

"Disinterested" is a key word here. "Interest" for someone with ADHD is _very_ important. Why?

Because without it, it can be _extremely_ difficult to engage one's executive function to do _anything_.

@kyleshevlin Note: I'm not diagnosed with anything, just notice my brain seems to be similar to ADHD/neurodivergent folks sometimes.

I can have good days at work, and I can really dig into what I'm doing. But I have _so many_ interests that sometimes work is just so boring and hard to get started. I was kicking off an epic, and day 1 I was so disinterested in it I worked on a completely different feature.

Thank you for sharing your experience, wish there was an answer

@lindsaykwardell oh this resonates. I sometimes go build something I’m more interested in just so I can feel pleasure, tbh. Sometimes it’s a good thing, too. Like, a dev on a team needs something and I can drop what I’m doing and fix that instead. The urgency can help my executive function as well.
