People with ADHD are naturally impulsive and that is why they can easily start any project without delay when inspired. If they are inspired.
What can inspire is the novelty or urgency. That is why when someone asks for help we are ready to jump in the task right away putting aside what ever we were doing. Because of the spike of dopamine and epinefrine we do deal with task fast. But there are some downsides:
– we struggle to come back to what ever we were doing before and sometimes it was not less important
– we don’t sit and cound if we can perform this task now or how to manage the tasks if it is gonna take longer. With longer tasks there will be no more spikes of dopamine epinefrine.
As a result low effectiveness and burn out.
I prefer pushing the task into the pipeline. The tasks sits and waits for the time of MUSE. While some people say you don’t have to wait for a MUSE, I discovered that it is the most effective time and energy management.
Waiting on MUSE does not mean actually waiting the weather. The bible says that the person who looks at the clouds and wind will not have results. However when you know when exactly the MUSE will come it becomes a totally different question.
When does MUSE come: when all stars meet ))).
You must know your cycles.
Women in active menstrual life can rely on the resourses related to fluctuations of hormones in each of the phases of the cycle because they are heavily impacting the work on neurotransmitters which effects our capacity to perform different tasks. Not that women can’t do any task any time, but that at different cycle it takes different efforts.
