MODERATORS
My first thought was "Is that really an adhd thing? I thought it was just normal behavior."
And then I realized...
It is normal to realize a series of steps are needed to accomplish a goal, but we are supposed to learn over time what is practical within the time constraints we have.
This persons list might be entirely practical if they are spending an entire day cleaning and organizing, and they can mentally keep track of the general order things should be done in.
People start calling things ADHD or ADD when someone is trying to fit that entire list into 30 minutes, and/or they don't actually need to do 90% of it at all anyways.
