A member asked:
With adhd is it normal to be very motivated and productive one day(s) and then have no motivation the next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: motivation and attention are complex processes. In ADHD, one may have incredible drive/motivation/attention when the mind is stimulated in certain ways but then complete lack when not stimulated in such ways. In the end, working to identify the environments/activities that best align with what naturally drives you is the most effective. Treatments can often be helpful in other ways as well.
