I keep putting off getting a formal ADHD diagnosis, but this sounds a lot like me. :) My programming/thinking style is very instinctual and doesn't really fit any sort of linear style. I kind of put things together as I go, trusting my subconscious to get all the little details together. I can explain post hoc why I wrote something a certain way, but won't be able to do it beforehand.

I'm the same way and my commits reflect that. I've never stood how people could organize their commits in linear progression. I always squash my commits before merging because of this.
