Oh, I didn’t think you were disagreeing.
My entire point is that since task paralysis can be a symptom of an executive dysfunction, it is worth the time for OP to talk to their doctor about it.
I don’t think that the previous poster said, nor implied that OP definitely has an executive dysfunction because of this one symptom.
Neither of which I think you have refuted at any point, in any capacity. :)
I’m still not a doctor, but as a first-aid certified person, signs and symptoms can be extremely useful in helping someone. It gives you a starting point to try to figure out what’s happening.
Further investigation is always required.
Medical diagnosis is a science. Things need to be proven. You can’t just go on vibes or feelings or whatever.
Since OP describes some symptoms that can be associated with executive function disorders, doesn’t mean that they definitely have those conditions. Only a qualified doctor should be making that kind of conclusion.
Days in lieu, from working OT on salary… IMO, is required.
I don’t work for free; if you’re paying me to be present for specific hours, regardless if it’s salary or not, then I expect to work during those hours and not any other time.
If, as a salary employee, I’m paid for results and as long as I meet my deadlines (and deadlines are reasonable) I can work whenever, then yeah, I’ll probably put in unpaid OT sometimes. I’ll tell you something though… With my level of experience, it would be unusual for anything to take so long that it requires that I work more than what is typical.
As someone who works for a living: praise is nice, but pay is required.
… Fuck you, pay me.
Oh… Uhhh… Hyperactivity in the name, isn’t behavioral hyperactivity. That can certainly be a symptom but the naming comes from hyperactivity in specific brain functions, as in, your brain works too much on things inappropriately.
While that can manifest as hyperactive behaviors, it doesn’t always.
… Which is probably why they qualified their statement with “might”.
OP might have an executive dysfunction.
I am not a doctor, but I agree that the possibility that OP has an executive dysfunction is nontrivial. Depending on where you live, finding out might be free. Just saying.
If I’m working late on something, I expect to be paid for that time and the company can provide a meal.
You’re not paying me? I’ll see you later then.

People will work FOR MONEY!??!
Let’s stop mincing words here.
You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.
I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.
Your main concerns are profits.
My main concerns are survival.
Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let’s not pretend that we’re here because we’re friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.
I disagree.
You already have a government space agency. Maybe give them more funding so they don’t have to rely on space-x to get their stuff into orbit?
There’s a national telecom network already in place. It at least has the potential to be faster and more reliable, if it isn’t already… At least compared to low earth orbit satellite coverage.
There’s no good reason to continue providing Elon or his companies with any government handouts. Pull that funding and give it to… I dunno, students who have more debt than homeowners with a mortgage… NASA… Literally anything that helps people?
