ADHD people find motivation in things that are stimulating and engaging to their brains. Things that are:

  • urgent,
  • new or novel
  • personally interesting

This need for stimulation is not a choice. It’s the only way for an ADHD brain to “work” since it can’t otherwise connect the dopamine brain reward with an action.

Other coping mechanisms, such as stimulant medication and exercise can help people with ADHD-based motivational issues.
