To someone without ADHD it doesn't make sense at times.

If you have certain types of ADHD and you aren't excited about something, you just have a huge resistance to doing it and you likely won't do it. Many don't even do the work with a deadline.

On the flip side, when you're intensely interested, you often times are completely absorbed into it, at the expense of other human needs.

Also, when that hyperfocus runs out, that absorption is lost, possibly forever. Onto the next fleeting thing.
