   starting a cleaning service for people with ADHD. I won’t be doing any of the actual cleaning, I’ll just be calling you at random times to tell you I’m on my way to your house and I’ll be there in about 45 minutes

     @VeryBadLlama see, the problem is you'll still have to actually show up at least 20% of the time (but also make it truly random, like it could be ten times in a row in theory). Otherwise we tend to learn very fast.

     @VeryBadLlama this is a friends sister in a nutshell. Except she also has adhd and when she eventually shows up weeks later, cleaning is amazing. But always late! But mostly almost always never!

     @ngz0 @VeryBadLlama ADHD may or may not be the underlying cause for a particular case of procrastination, but also has many other aspects.

     ADHD is a condition, procrastination is an outcome.

     @VeryBadLlama adhd is a modern euphemism for procrastination, no?

     @clacke @VeryBadLlama @ngz0 Regarding whether it is "modern":

     "The syndrome we now call ADHD has been described in the medical literature since 1775."

     "The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement: 208 Evidence-based conclusions about the disorder" is a scientific review of studies about attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, published in the September 2021 issue of Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.

     In case the term was new to anyone else, "PDA" here is obviously neither "public displays of affection" nor "personal digital assistant", it is:

     en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patholog…

     It is characterized among other things by e.g. "a greater-than-typical refusal to comply with requests or expectations, as well as extreme efforts to avoid social demands".

     Thank you @Retepkce for bringing it up!

     @VeryBadLlama I had a friend at university that would occasionally let his dorm room turn into a disaster zone. Unbelievable mess. He also hated taking his meds.

     His father would do this to him and then not show up. It worked about 5 times.

     @VeryBadLlama the idea is good, but you have to work on the details, because I never pick up my phone

     @VeryBadLlama This is hilarious, and based on the replies, *might actually work* if implemented just right!!

     @Retepkce You literally made me aware that the term and condition exists. 😊

     (of course, the milder form "well, I was going to, but now I'm not doing it" is well known by most people)

     @clacke @VeryBadLlama The difference between this and PDA is really not measured in miles but in light-years.... :rm_bitter:
