TLDR: Have you any tips or resources about how to be motivated to do things which you enjoy having ADHD in mind?


Hey, recently I had to stop my ADHD meds for a while.

Additionally I have a lot of time right now bec. of medical reasons and I try to do things I want to do instead of proctrastinating, so whenever I realize that I’m just doing stuff without actually enjoying them, I try to sit back, make me some tee and think about what I want to do. Like not in the future, but right now.

But the thing is, very often I just sit there and there is nothing I want to do. I try to enjoy doing nothing but it is kind of frustrating sitting there and thinking about what I want to do and nothing comes up.

I wanted to ask if this is a me thing or an ADHD related thing, and if so how you manage that. I either am completly stressed out with 100 projects at the same time or doing nothing and having no motivation to do anything. How can I be motivated to do things I enjoy? How to find things which I enjoy without sitting there and stressing out that currently I’m not motivated to do anything?

    I try to do mine as soon as I get all my W2s and/or 1099’s. Partly so I don’t forget but mostly because it’s my money and I want it now. Though I need a reminder for the State. I just did my federal but I can’t even start my State side taxes yet as the State currently isn’t accepting them yet.
