Yeah that's fairly textbook procrastination and then deadline stress - driven productivity, which is fairly common for ADHD people. Not enough to prove it on its own, but if you also identify with a lot of other things in this community it may be worth looking into

A few other examples off the top of my head that I have:

  • executive dysfunction (trouble starting tasks, even that you 'want' to do
  • often abandoning hobbies and personal projects for new, interesting ones
  • trouble staying focused on tasks that dont have that immediate deadline pressure
  • trouble forming habits
  • often fidgeting/stemming when not thinking about it

And reminder that even if you don't have stereotypical 'hyperactivity' symptoms you still might have a form of ADHD, for example I don't, for me it just manifests as often fidgeting, but not much beyond that.
