5. Trouble multitasking
It’s true what you’ve heard about multitasking: it’s bad for the brain. Multitasking is the process of quickly moving your attention from one task to another and back. Is it truly hard for you to complete multiple tasks at the same time? Isn’t it true that you can wash dishes and breathe at the same time? Isn’t it true that you may drive and converse with your passenger at the same time? Yes, it is feasible to execute multiple tasks at once. However, those activities are either automatic, such as breathing, or easy on the brain, such as strolling, speaking, or cleaning dishes. Doing more than one item at a time requires task switching since cognitively demanding activities require concentrated attention.
ADHD makes it difficult to organize, start work, manage time, lead our behaviors and responses, make decisions, and control emotions, as you may know. To put it another way, persons with ADHD expend more cognitive energy to go through their daily routines. So you’re out of gas by the end of the day (or even the morning). By switching tasks, you’re wasting more of your limited energy than you can afford.
