ADHD Behaviors You Didn’t Know About - part 7

Instead of doing things right away, like the laundry, or paying bills, you often wait until last minute, not because you’re lazy, but because your brain is driven by a sense of urgency and it craves excitmenent, making routine tasks less appealing until they become urgent.

This is why you often invite people over so you can finally start cleaning, which is usually also why your house looks like a complete mess until you do.

"Invite people over", let's not do anything drastic.

[KosmikGawdess]

Im so glad im finding these videos. I dont feel alone anymore.

I get disappointed when folks say let’s go out to dinner as i prefer to host (creating urgency) and I get the house cleaned top to bottom !!! Lol the moral of this is to host two good dinner parties per year meaning I get stuff done !

OMG is _that_ why I do this? It took me 1.5 weeks to get my place ready for my cats’ birthday party this month. But I didn’t just clean. I took the time to get rid of things, reorganize, and decorate (not party decorations, just in general). Mostly it’s the motivation to not let people see how I really live that drives me on. 😬

I am having several friends over for a Winter Solstice dinner this Sunday. The house is still a disaster, but at least I found the top of the dining room table.😂

Difficulty prioritizing and thoughts running a thousand miles a second also add to this 😂

[BlackOreoCookie]

Yep, I started hosting boardgame nights at my house to motivate me to clean regularly 😂

[gingerever]

OMG thank u, everyone always told me I was lazy and I did too but this makes soooo much sense, I do it with everything!! My school work, but even doing everything last minute I was still on the national Honor society so I knew I wasn't dumb! But thank u sooo much

Being powered by urgency is right. If you've ever dropped the clutch on your car and felt it slam you back into the seat, that's what it feels like when you have that sense of "urgency" on a task kick in. It's a real motivator.

I'm so happy I found your channel! Your videos are so helpful on my journey to getting to the bottom of things... Thank you❤

[Shade]

Oh, wow, this explains so much!!! Thank you for your posts

I almost never invite people over. I really don't like other people in my safe bubble. When I'm home, I just want my family and some peace and quiet. I already have to deal with people at work, and when I get home my social battery is drained. I like other people, just not in my home.

[GhostyPandok]

So true.. thank you so much for your videos! I feel way better knowing I'm not the only one! 💙

[snowyzkitty]

Yeah, inviting my boyfriend over is a great way to make sure I clean my room properly once a week. I didn't really realize that was what was going on lol

[rachel]

This channel and ADHD_love are some of the best info on adhd! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this disorder and explaining so many of the different symptoms that people like myself face and struggle with 💙

[kimb]

I ❤ how channels like this help my husband understand how my brain works! It really has made a huge difference so Thank you!!

[hayleywilliamscroc]

This is so relatable! I will only clean my appartment when i have visitors coming over cause it gives me a drive to do it. Same with university essays, the urgency of getting it done a week (sometimes less) before the deadline is what gets me to do it

[Pmm]

Yes this is very true, if I know people are coming regularly then I find it easier to keep the house clean

[elizabethashikhmina]

Gosh, I thought I was just really hospitable, but in the end I hate it every time i invite people over

[zoehancock]

Covid had an appalling effect on my house. No one round for the longest time, then no one could come round. It's never been today and near but the degree of muddle! The days ago I iwas informed that some of my daughters feelings are coming over on Sunday for a Halloween thing. The whole of yesterday i was in the zone, and while no one room is complete, (stuck at the nearly done confused stage) they are all much better. I am now writing this instead of continuing....
