Yes. Trying to Think Hard about something logical just makes my mind feel like a brick wall slams down. Things that work:
-Sticking with things that are easy enough I don’t actually have to use Real Brain Power. If I’m learning complex things, the underlying level of abstraction has to be absolutely second nature before I put anything on top of it.
-Pretending To Think, which works good enough if you just want to trick people into believing that you are working hard at thinking
-Tricking my mind into not recognizing it is Thinking by use of humor, play, narrative
Like Ustice I have ADHD, and have a frequent feeling of low-level boredom that I get around by usually having two tracks running in my brain, e.g. watching TV while working / answering emails.
