Why You Can't Do Boring: Dopamine and the Dyslexic Brain

You can land a plane in a storm. You can't do your tax return. That's not laziness. That's dopamine.

If you've got a dyslexic or ADHD brain, this is the episode that explains why the boring stuff feels impossible, and what to do about it. No textbook. Just pictures.

In this episode:

• Why dopamine is the "go and get it" chemical, not the happy one
• Nadia the air traffic controller who hasn't done her taxes in three years
• Brett the tattoo artist who does four days of work in four hours at 11pm
• The four things that actually start our engine (and why "important" isn't one of them)
• Cheap fuel: why the phone makes the spreadsheet impossible
• Five things that work for me, plus the 80 plus 1 rule

Not about medication. About what's actually going on in there, either way.
