“Spontaneity Is the Most Rewarding ADHD Trait”
Admittedly, ADHD brains do not typically excel at making — and following through with — plans. But they can expertly pivot and devise ingenious solutions on the fly when setbacks arise.
Sometimes, these new, spontaneous plans result in opportunities and rewards that would have otherwise remained unfulfilled.So, when a last-ditch effort to score a ticket to your favorite band’s show lands you backstage, or a late entry into a neighborhood Super Bowl pool means winning $750, you can thank your ADHD propensity for spontaneity.Here, ADDitude readers share more stories of when they reaped the rewards of spontaneity.Have you ever benefited from spontaneous decision-making or a failure to plan?
Share your story in the comments.“On a vacation with my husband a few years ago, I got rewarded for failing to plan. Upon arriving at the Mammoth Cave National Park, I realized that I needed to order tickets to tour the caves weeks in advance.
