If youāre one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we donāt like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that Iāve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and Iām now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
My anime/video game list consists of over 100 titles, easily, and yet I almost never get around to watching/playing any of them.
Executive dysfunction is not just for boring or unenjoyable things. Itās for everything. Even eating.
What is executive dysfunction? O.o
Put simply, itās difficulty/inability with initiating tasks. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, like decision-making and impulse control. People with ADHD and other neurological disorders that affect the prefrontal cortex often experience difficulty making decisions and performing tasks, as well as exercising self restraint. Part of why people with ADHD tend to procrastinate so badly is out of genuine inability to begin tasks, even if theyāre very important.
It feels, for me at least, like Iām constantly waiting for something and I canāt start X task because Iām waiting. I never know what exactly Iām waiting for, but that doesnāt stop me from wasting hours and days not doing the things I need to do, even if I have a desire to do them.

Oh thank god, someoneĀ put it into words.
For me itās also waiting for theĀ ārightā time to come to complete the task because for some reason my brain thinks doing the task at any other time is horribly, horribly wrong, weird, and out of order. TheĀ ārightā time might come eventually, might not. Itās a lottery.
Dude this is the exact description of me and I had no idea that this was actually a thing 0_o can depression cause this too?
