10 Signs of ADHD
ADHD Sign #8: Procrastination
Procrastination can be a sign of ADHD. For some reason, people with ADHD tend to delay doing something until it is due. This is because their brains work in a different way than other people’s brains. Could this explain why people with the disorder are more impulsive? Probably, yes. Their brains seek instant gratification. As such, they would rather do what they can enjoy right now than struggle to do something whose benefit will only come in the future.
For this reason, the brain focuses on something interesting to do. As a result, it is easy to forget those things whose due date is in the future. Unfortunately, by choosing to do stuff that feels interesting, important matters can pile up until the last minute, which can lead to extreme pressure and stress.
