    Does anyone know what the “cause” of this is? Like, why does the brain do this? It’s one of the things I most wish to change about myself.

      I don’t know whether any particular medication helps, but you can get into the habit of setting an alarm for X duration and just allowing yourself to enjoy an activity until the timer goes off. A lot of managing ADHD is setting rules and a schedule and doing your best to stick to it. It’s not something you can just wake up and do, but it is something you can get better at over time. It’s important to not be discouraged by failure, which is also a challenge in itself.
