Because many with ADHD see a task in their calendar, know they should work on it, but then... 1hr is gone, and nothing got done towards the task... nothing. Because they were doing something else. Now you feel bad. You reschedule it again... and it happens again.

Yes, I see this helping with the over commitment factor. But it doesn't help with doing the thing you need to do.

You need other strategies, such as actually scheduling time to get stimulated prior to tackling that big gnarly task. Or breaking it into just a 5 minute "do the first step" task, so that it's not 1hr of doom scrolling - that maybe a 5 minute chunk of it gets done.

This is my anecdata, though.
