Another ADHD founder here. I've found that having someone else around when I need to to that thing, or a "body double" ( https://doubleapp.xyz/blog/body-doubling-proxy ), is a super useful tactic to "unblock" myself and overcome motivational hurdles like the ones you may experience.
Flow Club is a great body-doubling app anytime you want (https://www.flow.club/coworking-for-adhd).
I realized when I was rather young that I performed much better when I was around other people. I always chalked it up to being a show-off or needing someone else's validation.
TIL this is a thing.
You got me a chuckle here!
I have the same. Body doubling is the single most effective strategy I use whenever I can. I'm extremely accountability (or maybe... validation?) driven.
