    I’m not ADHD, at least not diagnosed, but the one that gets me is I’ll be coming in from outdoors thinking about the 12 little things I need to do right now (go pee, get tea started, clean dog bowls, put away the cups, fold the blanket, close blinds, and so on) and then next thing I hear is someone calling my name “can you come hold this for me while I …” and suddenly that list I’ve meticulously curated and held in my short term memory for the past 10 minutes is just gone and now who knows when I’ll get around to checking if I need to put ketchup on the grocery list cause fuck if I’ll remember to do it any time soon.

      I’ll just check real quick first if clicking the first link in Wikipedia articles really does eventually lead to Philosphy.

        More like I don’t want to complete task a that I had to abandon due to needs of business and probably only has 15 minutes of work, so I’ll push these other tasks around for the next 2 hours.

      My ADHD family and I rush through things and interrupt each other because if we don’t were likely to forget something important that just popped into our mind. But by interrupting we made the other one forget what they were talking about.

      Living in a world that isn’t adapted to my needs can be exhausting, but it’s not the reason I rush through things. That’s pretty innate to my neurodiversity.

        ND = NeuroDivergent

        NT = NeuroTypical

        Given that you don’t know that already, high likelihood you are neurotypical.

        I… trust you know what the rest of the words mean.

    You just described how earning money works and also what we do to our planet (well, also our economy). It’s about exploitation of natural and human resources.
