The laziness thing resonates hard for me. When I am interested in something I can spend hours and hours learning everything about it and tinkering with it, when I am not interested it is incredibly challenging to muster the effort at all.

Deadlines and panic help, and if I can trigger my focus Ive been pretty successful with my efforts in general.

I still find myself doubting that I have ADD. Go figure.

Gosh, the laziness.

I taught myself every single song on my parent's electric keyboard when I was a kid, so they got me a bigger, better one and I learned every song there and then some others that I painstakingly figured out by ear.

But did I ever do my homework? Did I every get xyz done on time? Did I constantly misplace everything?

I wish I had been hyperactive and disruptive in class so maybe someone would have helped me earlier.
