i thought my main problem was starting tasks but now i quit coffee and ritalin and i realize that i also have a problem continuing tasks help

i can only do the bare minimum even if i want to do more

What does not being able to do more feel like?

like every second i spend on a task takes a huge amount of effort. like if i tried to read a complicated paper and i had somebody singing loudly in my ear the whole time

Do you have a sense of what's causing the effort? Where is the "somebody singing loudly" coming from?

yeah kinda, it feels like it's just not fun. like i could be playing instead. but i often feel the same way when i play. like, not stimulating enough

Do you get a sense of what you need it to be stimulating enough for? What happens if you're understimulated?

i feel it less when i'm doing either dumb monotonous tasks that i can streamline, or something that requires a lot of brainpower and is also interesting. my current task is neither i go on twitter lol. or i don't and use 100500% of my willpower every second but it feels baad
