   advice/insight please

   i spent a lot of my high school life just not doing work that i didn't like doing (see: all homework that wasn't history) and just avoiding the consequences (detention doesn't mean anything if you don't go) while still doing everything important (tests)

   turns out those consequences are having zero tolerance for the parts of my job that i don't like doing/don't see as important, and that i also avoid doing them

   is this an #ADHD thing or...?

     i can put more effort into avoiding the consequences than doing the work because the fear of getting into trouble makes the monkey brain work harder
