This response ("this isn't specific to ADHD") to every post on here is incredibly tedious, especially when it's filled with assumptions about what the original post means.

It says "achieving something," not finishing work or paying taxes. It could be about making a work of art, finishing a tough workout, baking a cake, literally any of the things someone may do that is just about self fulfillment or enjoyment.

If those things that you want to do don't give you joy, that can absolutely be an ADHD symptom! ADHD is characterized by dysfunction of the way the brain produces and uses dopamine, which among other things makes people feel a sense of reward.

This isn't universal in degree or frequency, and frankly it just comes off as "everyone's a little ADHD."
