ADHD chiming in. That approach just doesn’t work [when you have ADHD]
Professionally diagnosed ADHD here as well. Extremely aware of the hurtful and unfair "lazy" stigma.
Positive thinking, an improvement mindset, and life hacks are not cure for ADHD. There's no cure! I'm not one of those people who's trying to tell you that the cure to your ADHD is "just try harder" or some bullshit. I know we have all heard that too many times in our lives.
But our brains are still hackable. Our habits are still improvable. I'm in middle age and I'm still finding improvements and workarounds.
