places like a critical thinking section of a video game that breaks up levels into bite-sized, ADHD-friendly events is doubly going to do this

if you indeed have ADHD tendencies you need to understand what those tendencies actually are -- they're chronic understimulation; distraction is a side effect of understimulation.

instead of asking "what will motivate me?" ask "what stimulates me?" and "what don't I find stimulating?" -- try to be as specific as possible.

this is maybe the best post.

I sure can relate, Macchabee. And here's a fun solution:
Bets. That's the answer.
Bet your peers that if you finish a task you get their 20-200 (pounds, dollars, yuan, rupees, yen. What ever currency you have per peer), this way you'll be willing to try harder, and so will your peers. And if you fail, you lose 20-200. Or you can get them to do better things, like get them to eat bread from the floor (if other way around, you're in danger and gotta try harder or hide). Though if everyone does fine, then everyone's safe.

I haven't tried this solution, but I sure would do my work if my wallet or health was in danger.

idk i just think about my parents and how screwing up school would waste their efforts

i dunno. really though, you need to set goals. try to visualize your future so you know what you need to get there

"intelligence" helps you do well in school, but there's a ton of people who aren't that intelligent but do well in school because they're determined
