It's fascinating and sometimes frustrating, how differently people's brains work. 

 

I used to work in event management and communications, and I was good at it. The adrenaline from deadlines and the dopamine from seeing my work pay off were great for my ADHD brain. 

 

At home, though, I was a procrastinating mess, because there were no exciting deadlines, just daily chores, and no one saying "great work" if I hung my clothes up... 

 

The How To ADHD videos on YouTube are helping me learn more about how to manage daily life stuff, particularly the Motivation Bridge and the Wall Of Awful. And from the comments on those videos, they help a lot of other people understand their own and other people's brains
