This is something that's been frustrating me to no end recently as I've had a ton of time over the holidays to do whatever I want. I have a dozen half beaten games and half watched tv shows that I really should just finish but idk why I just can't stick to one thing until it's done and then move on to the next like a normal person.

I struggle with this and it's definitely because of my ADHD. I get round it with games by using WeMod. It's not that I want to cheat but that I just get bored of repetitive fights and time wasting bs. I've just sunk 130 hours into Assassin's Creed Odyssey and it's been awesome. I just set it to infinite health, adrenaline, unlimited oxygen, instant cooldown and one hit kills and just have fun. People who say what about the challenge? Yeah I love a challenge, I just don't like the same challenge a thousand times. Also I've learnt that we ADHD people hate being told we "have to" do anything so WeMod is like a giant FU to anyone trying to tell me how to play the game hehe.
