• Today's dilemma: "I really struggle to motivate myself to do boring household chores" - We discuss a few hacks that help us motivate our ADHD brains to start boring chores or complex tasks, and why DOPAMINE plays a crucial role in task initiation, executive functioning, procrastination and motivation.
