Seconding this. My work has had the same problem - by the time I've got things all hooked up, figured out the complicated stuff - my brain (and body) clock out and I have to drag myself through hell to get to 100%. Even with ADHD stimulant medication. It didn't make it emotionally easier, just _possible_ lol.

LLMs, particularly Claude 4 and now GPT-5 are fantastic at working through these todo lists of tiny details. Perfectionism + ADHD not a fun combo, but it's way more bearable. It will only get better.

We have a huge moat in front of us of ever-more interesting tasks as LLMs race to pick up the pieces. I've never been more excited about the future of tech

Same here, especially for making bash scripts or lots of if this if that with logging type stuff, error handling etc..

Oh and also, from what I know, ADHD and perfectionism is a very common combination, I'm not sure if everyone has that but I've heard it's the case for many with ADD. Same with "standards" being extremely high for everything
