honestly?? yeah i get that same urge too it kinda pisses me off sometimes though because at the moment i could be just about to start answering assignments and completely forget the task at hand and not submit a thing at all
in fact, i experience this so much tha-- wait a goddamned minute here.

I NEED TO HEAD INTO THE CLASS MEET RN WHOOPS HAHA BRB I CAN LIKE CONTINUE TALKING TO YOU LATER ABOUT THIS SORRY MDUDE
i know this HAS to be adhd related but whenever im stuck in a situation that feels understimulating (like at school or on a therapy call) i always suddenly get the urge and motivation work on stuff that i couldnt before. but i need to act on it Right Then or else it goes away after. like when i zone out my mind immediately goes to “i could be doing this instead rn” and i suddenly gain the motivation to work on something thats been looming over me for days or even months that i havent been able to jump over the executive hurdle for which i can only assume is because my brain finds it more stimulating than this lecture??
so 1.) does anyone else experience this (and why have i never seen it talked about before? are there any studies/research on it), and 2.) is there a name for this specific adhd experience because i need an easy way to refer to it
