Mayb you mean dopamine? Which is needed to start/continue/finish tasks and is deficient in people having ADHD.

Or more generally, maybe you’re talking about willpower. There are a lot of studies done on diminishing willpower over the day (eg in judges, that need to make tough decisions their whole day, or people on diets that have better food choices in the morning vs the evening)

Heh, I'd be your sister from another mister! I'm so glad it gives you some hope. Sometimes just knowing you're not the only one who struggles in this way can be helpful.

That's so kind, thank you so much and 100x the same to you, I hope you can find a way to have some peace with this.

Completely agreed. Too often it seems like folks are bitter about someone else having more or being more successful, and in turn, sometimes successful people look down on those without as much, or seemingly so. I’ve always tried to use successful people as an example, as a way to motivate myself to achieve the same greatness. A lot of successful people had to work hard for what they have, and they’re living proof that anyone with the right amount of determination and dedication can do the same.
