Ever feel restless in a meeting or line and want to bolt? That’s not impatience, it’s delay aversion.

In this Research Recap with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD, Skye explores new research showing how delay aversion connects boredom, frustration, and inattention in ADHD. Together they dig into how the brain’s reward system makes waiting harder and what you can do to make it easier.

What we cover:

• What delay aversion actually means for ADHD
• Why ADHD brains overvalue instant rewards
• The neuroscience behind frustration and focus
• How boredom fuels distraction and impulsive behavior
• Strategies to make waiting time more productive
