I have intense executive dysfunction; i can't forcing myself to do anything boring, which means I fail at basic maintenance tasks. this is even with intense incentives; I was making 100k/month on onlyfans but it got boring so I stopped working that hard after just a few months

I could in theory make that much again if I started working that hard, but even with that much incentive I cannot force myself to do it. I either am zoned in hard on a project that I love or I'm playing video games while my life falls apart.

I've figured out some ways to be functional, like adderall helps a little bit, and I've finally hired a housekeeper to sweep my house into shape, I pay a but more for pre-sorted vitamin packs, etc. Its expensive to compensate for my executive dysfunction tho.

I'm actually pretty shocked that I've managed to work semi consistently on one long project this year, the kink survey. It gives me a little hope that I can do more normal types of work. Maybe it works when it's projects I chose and fully control!

also no I'm not loaded, after taxes (plus additional 15% self employment) a few months of onlyfans did pad my savings, but ive been just breaking even since then and am currently probably about as financially stable as a software engineer.

How long did it take after you stopped trying hard before you saw a substantial drop-off in income?

almost immediately, it correlated very closely with the amount of work I put in

If you make 100k a month you prolly can pay other people a third of that to do most of the work.

it's extremely hard to find someone as good as I am at it, even if I spoon feed them the instructions

Assuming 100% efficacy, how much would you pay for someone to fix your executive dysfunction? Would you think that's better than having someone that just does things for you but at a cheaper rate?
