In high school I didn't do a lot of activities or clubs and it really hurt me in college applications. So for college I made an effort to join as many as possible without even a second thought. I became "treasurer" of a few just for sticking around lol.

Then I apply to law school and it's all GPA and LSAT score. Turns out I was just going to random meetings for no reason. Anyways learn from my mistakes, take some time to sit down and figure out what's big picture helpful. Looking back it could have just been my ADHD urge to join everything/take up every hobby haha

For lack of interest I find some peppy music or think of something super fun to do after that task is finished. Brian Tracy used to call the unpleasant task "Eat That Frog" and Jessica McAbe from How To ADHD calls it "The Wall of Awful." Doing the worst thing first helps especially if the worst thing is the most important.

I've also had fun doing the "why" of when something needs to get done, like figuring out a rational reason or overplaying how a particular task has a big picture meaning. But if something's truly pointless it's been enough motivation to call someone up and figuring a way around doing it in the first place. This is mainly a work bureaucracy thing and there's definitely some limits to this.

Any unpleasant situation you find yourself in could be someone else's greatest fetish.

You're in getmotivated so the whole point is people who want to be motivated... if you don't care about progress or self improvement you don't need motivation

Okay that's awesome, wish you could do that for all the posters hanging up in annoying middle school teacher's classrooms lol

Yeah Wellbutrin is even used off label for ADHD sometimes but getting out of that deep out of despair really helps you do other things… took me from a high school depression 2.0 gpa where I couldn’t get myself to try in classes I could handle to 3.7 gpa. Obviously still graduated with a shitty gpa but helped me build a foundation of study skills so I didn’t completely waste my student loan debt on college haha. Definitely recommend looking into it for anyone on the fence or struggling with insane stimulant regulations
