Hello fellow ADHD people!

I had a weird idea today. I’ve noticed that sometimes I have a single specific task that I avoid incredibly painfully, to the point where, even on my best days, I basically do everything else. And it makes other things easier because the more I think about the task that I’m avoiding, the more my brain is running away to do other things.

It made me wonder, maybe I can make a dummy task that isn’t really critical, but make myself think that it is, and avoid it, therefore increasing my motivation to do other tasks as a form of avoidance.

Any opinions or experiences about this?

    I suppose it would have to be something truly more challenging than anything else you could be doing. Maybe ‘save the world’? But it has to be something specific and actionable.
