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?

The way I’ve described it before is your attention is like the Z-targeting system in Zelda OoT. When you have ADD or ADHD, the system is a little broken, either it’s not working at all so you have to try to do everything without locking onto anything which the game was not designed to be played that way making it excessively difficult, or you automatically lock onto something, but the as soon as another target pops up you switch to that even if you dont want to.
When you take Adderall or a similar medication at the proper dosage, the system gets a little closer to the intended system, you’re better able to select your target and won’t as easily change targets unintentionally.
