You just need to switch of job, if you don’t feel rewarded when doing it then it’s just not the right fit for you. And even then, something fun can become boring later on.

I know electricians for instance who love doing their stuff, so they have no issue in being motivated, while they were a mess in their previous work field.

And vice versa.

It’s not always possible of course, but the solution is not to ‘gameify’ your life, it will only work for a little while before getting bored of it.

And for the « home » task, I believe it’s more of a routine. If you know every Saturday morning will be to clean the whole house, you just do it without thinking much.

I think it's great that you don't have executive dysfunction. That's not the case for me, and obviously not for the author.

If you've never had your dream job yet still wasn't able to do shit, you don't have to crack down on other people's attempts to become functioning members of society.

    I do have issue tho, that’s the reason I’m saying that. I can’t concentrate at all on something that isn’t interesting to me to the point where I needed 4 hours to learn basic trigonometric algorithms when I was a kid.

    Call it adhd or something else, my point is that doing something interesting is 99% of the solution.

    It’s like poker, when you got a bad hand you deal with it. Play on your qualities, not on your flaws.

This is like telling a depressed person to just be happy

    I believe it would be closer to saying to find what he likes to do and change his life so that he replaces what he doesn’t like with what he likes.

    That’s problem solving.
