ADHD and The Time-Motivation-Money Paradox
<h2>Executive functioning challenges and time blindness contribute to poor financial management</h2>
<p>Basically, Executive function refers to the mental skills that enable people to manage their lives. Think of it as the “command center” of the brain. ADHDers are wired differently and our command center has a hard time with some tasks.</p>
<p><strong>ADHDers struggle with transitions. Initiating or ending a task. Which makes us feel stuck.</strong></p>
<p>We struggle doing something that needs to be done, not due to laziness or even procrastination, but executive dysfunction. To me, laziness or procrastination, is delaying something because you don't feel like it, you are tired, or the task isn't too important.</p>
<p>As with executive dysfunction you WANT to do the task, but can't, or you want stop doing it, but can't. We often use adrenaline to push through, doing things at the last possible minute, running against the clock, fueling our anxiety, to get stuff done.</p>
