> People that don’t struggle with executive dysfunction (specifically, with initiating) assume that we’re not trying hard enough because the space between “trying” to do something and doing it is so small, it’s imperceptible to them.
> If you struggle with initiation, starting something looks like this:
> “I want to do the thing” ️
> “launch initiation.exe” ️
> “I am now doing the thing”> But for those that don’t struggle, the space between “initiation.exe” and “Doing the Thing” is so microscopic, it’s essentially imperceptible. [...] They have no idea that there are actually 3 steps, and their brain-hardware handles step 2 seamlessly.
