You know what needs doing.
You feel the weight of it. You genuinely care about the outcome.
But somehow you're still frozen, scrolling, doing literally anything else.
And then the shame spiral starts: "What's wrong with me? Where's my self-discipline?"
But discipline isn't a character trait you're missing.
It's the operating system of the neurotypical brain. And you're trying to run Windows on a Mac.
Their brains see importance + consequences + future rewards and **convert** them straight into action.
Your ADHD brain has the same motivators, but different wiring.
You can't access action through "should." You need actual catalysts your brain recognizes as fuel:
**Novelty**
**Interest**
**Challenge**
**Engagement**
**It's** not about trying harder. It's about using the right fuel for your actual operating system.
Stop beating yourself up for needing different support. Your brain isn't broken - it just runs different software.
**Want the full breakdown?** My N.I.C.E. & Easy Guide walks you through exactly how to use these catalysts for the boring-but-necessary stuff. Link in bio
