Mallory's Musings & MischiefJan 6, 2024

If you're struggling #ADHD task initiation, don't waste energy trying to convince yourself why the task is important or needs to be done.

You already know what needs to be done. That's not the problem.

The problem is the *doing it* part.

So approach it like it's a puzzle to solve. Try to imagine as many different ways as possible you could do the thing. Be curious and creative. Be silly. The goal is to make the task genuinely fun for you to do.

If something sounds interesting, act like you're going to do it, but also don't worry about following through on it. Whether or not you actually do the crazy idea isn't important. The goal is just to get some momentum to get past the initial hump.

@malcircuit I'm working on something like that but I've realized I need to take a year to prepare (meaning create art) so that when the call for art comes around again in a year I will be prepared.
