At work (which is mostly physical labor for me) I power through every task I have set out for me. The break I take when I'm halfway through the work is usually just a few minutes long because I have a real desire to just go and get everything done properly as efficiently as possible.

But then I get home. And I sit in a chair and do nothing but waste time. I'll try to start hobbies but that same work motivation is just not there at all. I try to do chores but I get distracted and forget to finish them. And back when I was in school, I'd try to start homework or studying but find something else more interesting and give up completely.

I feel like there's some strange disconnect there, where work is entirely a separate thing for a lot of people with ADHD than school or home chores. For me at least, work is me wanting to help my boss out and do as good a job as possible while getting paid for it. But at home, chores only help myself, and there's a lot of days where that is just not enough motivation.
