I don’t know if it’s an ADHD thing for me or some undiagnosed Autism thing but, for part of my life I used to make lists to try and prevent procrastination spirals. And the lists would get too big and I would fail them as the backlog grew. It makes me very wary of planning to this day. Has anyone else dealt with this in such a context?

    Might try treating it like a video game objective or something easier for your particular neurodivergence to grab hold of.

    I tried this in my own particular way and I ended up losing a couple of times as a result. I couldn’t even win my own game. And unfortunately, losing in life has far more costly consequences than a video game.

      Ha, I meant more like breaking tasks to do into video game-esque objectives, but I can empathize with the ‘losing at life’ sentiment. Being neurodivergent sure is fun, isn’t it?
