There are many reasons why people experience this. It’s most definitely not only tied to ADHD. I don’t have ADHD and I have the issue in the OP as well. It’s not because I’ll get distracted and miss it, it’s because I have anxiety that I will or simply about the thing itself. I can’t fully relax until all tasks for the day have been completed even if I am not immediately anxious about it. I think that’s a pretty common human experience and it doesn’t really make sense to pathologize it.
It’s so hard to explain this to people too 😭 my entire existence just freezes until whatever is scheduled is finished. And then those times when people cancel last minute and the entire day was like this…

Yeah, I see things like this a lot and think “shit, do I have ADHD?”
Polled a few of my friends and 100% relate to this meme, so I sort of doubt it.
Not everyone who does it is ADHD, but a LOT of us that have ADHD do this.

I hate those days so much
Wait, so is this quite a common thing?
