A check on tiny starts, outside cues, time checks, and coming back after a drift.
About this test
Starting, time, and fast feelings are framed with Russell Barkley's account of ADHD as a difficulty of executive function: the future does not grab attention as hard as the present. Implementation intentions (Gollwitzer) and body-doubling-style external structure are the practical cousins. These items score whether you chose a start that is smaller than the mood. They do not diagnose ADHD.
