Is the inability to see "big picture" things a common adhd trait or just a "people are different" trait?

Example, ive never enjoyed jobs that involve long term planning because most of the managers etc have no clue how the actual work or the details of a project are done. They say they'll "do x thing by y time" without knowing anything about it or the actual amount of work and expertise it would take.

Now im the one doing the detailed actual work. And I enjoy it because its real vs a bunch of people making a plan about something they dont even know how to do.

Same thing with "5 year plans".I literally cannot do it because 1. All my plans involve "have money to do thing" and 2. You could easily get cancer and die in 5 years (or other big changes).

Now I do invest for long term (because its easy) but otherwise I find it very hard to look at big picture things without every single detail.

Investing safe will small dividends but high safety is not as difficult as it seems. You can get a mix of: • state bonds • big ETF collection that basically never got in red since their beginning 10+ years ago • some bank accounts even give you a small 2/3% just by leaving the money there. Not the best but it's better than nothing
