How to ADHD 与 Brendan Mahan 合作的科普短片，解释为什么在常人眼里的简单任务却会让 ADHD 人群寸步难行；形象提出了“糟糕之墙（Wall of Awful）”概念——堆积在任务前由既往挫败、耻感与焦虑构筑的心理屏障。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 上探讨拖延症与任务瘫痪（task paralysis）时的标杆参考；很多人看完才真正理解自己为什么会本能逃避起步，并找到心理破局点。
「它彻底改变了我应对拖延的方式，现在做事前我只要先问自己一句：我到底为什么在逃避这件事？」HN 网友原话：It totally changed how I approached my procrastination by simply asking myself "why" I was avoiding a task.
