For a lot of ADHD brains, tasks like responding to emails and text messages can feel frustrating or overwhelming. We crave dopamine hits and a sense of completion, but tasks like messages and emails rarely give us that. The moment you finish, more appear. Instead of a finish line, it feels like a treadmill.
