Eh, as I've learned, energy is limited. You can only do so much on one day.

If you can improve something you've been working on all day very very mildly where it costs very little energy, it's fine. Switching to the next big thing costs a lot of energy due to context switching and having to learn a new mini-domain.

It takes time, especially for someone like myself with ADHD, to adapt to a new context.

What I mostly want to get accross is that it's unnecessary to view this behavior as procrastination (negative) and not just natural, energy-efficient and expected.
