I went full fucken ADHD yesterday and decided to paint an entire wall and door on the living room and change the furniture around. It looks amazing and I’m so pleased.
You guys, I totally painted a whole other wall of the living room today. PRODUCTIVE AS FUCK. I have to go to my eldest’s place for the weekend but when I get back IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG again and I’ll do the window frames. They have gross oil based paint on them, so I’m thinking of attempting to sand them back to timber, to see if it might be best simply stained.

@melissabeartrix gawd! Thanks. I will ask the landlord how long ago he did it.
@chozari It's almost like moving into a new place doing that.
@RetroSponge Totally! I need the novelty. I also get overstimulated and really distressed by visual clutter, and the tidy up really helps.
@chozari Is that "ADHD" or is that just getting stuff done and being pleased at the result?
@PaulWay Well, I’m firstly diagnosed with ADHD and secondly have struggled over a lot of years to understand that paralysis which comes with neurodivergence a lot of the time; the changes to my behaviour and the awareness of what ADHD does and doesn’t influence in my life have come with that recent diagnosis and medication which has allowed me to reach more easily for the best bits of ADHD which inspire me in the moment to focus intently on (and enjoy) a task which might’ve felt “crazy” before.
