Emotion Over Logic

In this episode of Inside the Whirlwind, I break down what “Emotion Over Logic” really looks like in ADHD. I explain why big unresolved problems can push the brain toward quick-finish tasks like browsing, chaser emails, or other side quests. I also cover how dopamine, RSD, and constant pressure all feed into that pattern. This is a real-life, honest episode based on how it works for me, but kept relatable for anyone who lives like this. I also bring in NICUP (Novel, Interest, Challenge, Urgency, Passion) to explain why the “wrong” task can feel easier than the important one. The episode finishes with a simple way to catch the pattern earlier and stop it taking over the whole day.
