I'm currently slogging along in my PhD because reading scientific papers and focusing on what is said there, as well as getting ideas of my own, is incredibly difficult for me. Heck, I mostly stopped reading books in puberty.

My brain feels like it basically wants to be rewarded much more quickly, and without those rewards I get distracted very easily. I've blamed video games conditioning me this way, but dunno if that is even realistic.

Could this be #ADHS? Or some other condition? Any input?
