      Ha! You fool! I was playing Surviving Mars and getting my dopamine by completing multiple tiny tasks in a video game!

        Why can’t I gamify reality so I can hyperfocus on real shit? 😩

        (Serious: Because it’s not the winning of little goals that hooks me; it’s the fact the game is actually fun and most tasks IRL are boring as fuck which ADHD brain does not like.)

          You might try to find an app that helps gamify your to-do list. I got LifeUp configured on my phone to remind me to do tasks regularly and give me ‘coins’ and xp for doing them. Too bad I’m too lazy to slip the rewards part to fuller game it.
