    Your link is on the official definition of executive disfunction. The OP used executive disfunction in the common use, “I don’t do things I think I should.” That’s also the definition of laziness.

    When people use the common definition of executive disfunction they are euphemism treadmilling laziness.

      But OOP did not say “I don’t do things I think I should”, they said “I don’t do things I want to do”. They described the executive dysfunction loop quite well.

      I was unaware of anyone outside of ASD/ADHD communities regularly using the term.

        The OP used executive disfunction as synonymous with lazy. The term executive disfunction has been used in mainstream media for years.

          can be broken into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won’t be successful or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps

          doesn’t sound like laziness to me
