It's really paradoxical for ADHD, but sometimes if you're struggling to do a task, you have to give yourself permission not to do it for a while and actively don't do it. (As opposed to passively not doing it and hating and exhausting yourself over it)
Then sometimes this helps you return to the task and actually get it done.
I don't think it's possible to get a thing done by just sorta quietly hating yourself for not doing it
