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.

maybe? the issue is regularly performing work I'm not interested in, even if its very little work for a ton of payoff

pretty stable yeah. I'd feel more stable if my savings were increasing, even if slowly, vs barely holding steady (or decreasing rn due to the market)

I related to this until 15 years ago. Since then my executive function just kicked in and I suddenly became a marathon runner (metaphor) rather than a sprinter. It made me more boring, and bored. Also more hard working. Now I am an excited marathon runner. 15 years!

and

Similar situation here. Probably comes with age.

have you looked into using StableDiffusion or other AI models to automate creation of content for OF? imo extremely viable idea and lowers the amount of work required *quite* significantly

You need a good personal assistant.

Software engineer at google? Or software engineer at GM?

I’ve struggled with the same thing. Look into “hacking your motivations”. Instead of fighting against your lack of motivation, accept it & find ways to manipulate it Eg: I hate working out & love playing Xbox. So I made a rule. If I die in the game, I have to do 20 push ups.
