cognitohazard? cognitoopportunity? 

Having the weird thought that a lot of things I perceive as experiences are actually things I'm doing and I have the option to stop. I just tend to get caught up in them and forget that.

This is seriously OP. If I take the time and do it calmly, I can gently shift from executive dysfunction to actually doing things, seemingly without any long-term consequence.

This implies that executive dysfunction is a trance, and it is possible to find it and adjust it. At least for me. I don't know if the cause is the same for everyone, and it took a lot of work to learn how to do that.

Addendum: for me it can also be different forms of tiredness. Or the "brain residue" that making decisions seems to leave. And those require rest of a sort, but the rest can be made more efficient by directing it to the specific condition. Which isn't always equally easy and may take more time.

There's this feeling of mental "fog" that I haven't been experiencing lately, and I attribute that to working on this and keeping up with it.
