Islamic evidence
Man will only have what he has worked towards (Quran 53:39). The striving still counts; set it up so your effort can actually flow.

Qur'an 53:39
Psychological evidence
An ADHD brain mobilises far better for tasks that are interesting, urgent, or novel; deliberately adding those ingredients to a dull task is working with the wiring, not against it.
Barkley, R. A. (1997). Psychological Bulletin · doi
ADHD reflects differences in behavioural inhibition and executive function rather than a lack of effort or care.
