I mean, isn't that part of executive dysfunction? As in you have a dysfunction of executing (starting/doing) something.

Makes it worse when you have hundreds of different things youre interested in too!

When im working i have so many ideas of what I wanna do. When works done or on weekends, I have no idea what to do and then feel bad for not making the most of my days off
