First, as a fellow ADHD person... damn. I empathize.
My life is a whole bunch of Rube Goldberg-ass workarounds too. It feels like nothing but workarounds sometimes. A thing held together with so much duct tape that I sometimes wonder if it's just duct tape all the way down.
it didn't end up building any very strong habits
that could stand alone outside this system
I mean, I would say that using the system you came up with was a valuable habit and that is the kind of "hacking" I was thinking of when I wrote the parent post.
Some folks interpreted it as me saying that ADHD (which I initially never even mentioned) and other problems could just be magically mindhacked away or something.
I don't feel that's what I wrote, and it certainly not what I believe.
