I feel like his advice is really only applicable if the tasks are received pre-gamified, otherwise it’s just the same task with double the work:
Here’s a list of tasks
but it’s boring and tedious
use the content of the list to create a game with structure that ties individually completed tasks to generate automatic, immediate, output/result/gratification
Begin accomplishing gamified list tasks <---- (should be starting here)
Finish quickly due to gamification.
That whole approach ain’t gonna work on someone with ADHD. If it isn’t received pre-gamified, I’m not gonna do a bunch of extra work before I can start the actual work.

“The best way to get an ADHD brain to quickly accomplish simple task lists is by having accomplishments provide immediate results/rewards” - Yes
