I think the perfect illustration of how absurd the psychology of executive dysfunction is that, when I’m having a bad function day, I often find it helpful to groan like an annoyed zombie before undertaking some physical task. Like, it doesn’t just make me feel better – it legitimately helps. I have performatively registered my protest against the very concept of Doing Things with whatever powers might be listening, and can therefore proceed to Do The Thing.

I have found it immensely helpful to whine “I don’t wanna” or some variant, aloud, before Doing the Thing.  Never particularly thought of it as performatively registering my protest, but that’s it, that’s exactly what it is.

I also never considered the performative protest aspect of this but I also vocally register my Not Want To Do The Thing just before I get up and do the thing and it’s super helpful.

My GF and I do this and it’s honestly so helpful.
