Executive dysfunction you mean? ADHD meds can sometimes help, also having external authority forcing you to do it

I also sometimes cope by impulsively doing it if I have internal motivation, but that can lead to doing unwise things too

Was recommended a ADHD online test in another post on this similar topic. It said that I likely did not have it.
