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 &ldquo;command center&rdquo; 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&#39;t feel like it, you are tired, or the task isn&#39;t too important.</p> <p>As with executive dysfunction you WANT to do the task, but can&#39;t, or you want stop doing it, but can&#39;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> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@isabellaward/adhd-and-the-time-motivation-money-paradox-274f6e5d8271"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
