I love how simple, logical things that can’t be argued against just get tossed to the wayside.

My executive function is constantly the Gru Master Plan meme:

We like games, not homework.

So we turn the homework into a game.

Got bored thinking of how to do that and played 10 hours of an actual game instead.

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.
