To me just sitting around shoes on without going out would prob just become boring pretty quick. For my thrill-seeking brain starting new things and doing big decisions is actually pretty easy. I get a kick out the idea of new things and places, especially if there is a small risk involved - I like lifting free weights over machines for instance. And yes, I have ADHD.

Problem is not starting things, it is keeping up with them. Best thing for me is to make doing the thing easy as possible. Nearer the gym is to your home the better, preferably one without music (impossible I know). Studying is easier when I have my books all the time accessible on ipad. Somehow also the bodybuilder Bob Paris’ motto ”Just do it now” helps to push me into action rather than ruminating over whether I should or not.
