Does anyone else have an experience with ADHD where you see tasks of a certain size as monolithic? For example, imagine a gigantic laundry pile, but all the pieces are sewn together. You can’t conceive of a way to break the task down into a smaller parts that might be more easily achieved the way other people seem to be able to do?
