How does adderall work to allow you to get stuff done?

It blows my mind how productive I’m able to be, being properly medicated after a diagnosis. I don’t understand why I cannot do these simple tasks normally. Why does adderall make me “go” and actually accomplish tasks?

“Task initiation” (aka starting to do a thing, or changing what you’re doing) requires dopamine.

Our brains misuse dopamine.

Adderall forces our brains to make more dopamine.

(Vast oversimplification, obviously.)
