I’m a neurodivergent adult who has spent years overwhelmed by productivity systems that promised clarity but instead added pressure, guilt, or complexity. I’ve tried many approaches that looked good on paper and failed in real life because they didn’t account for fluctuating energy, executive dysfunction, or the realities of living in a demanding world. Over time, I’ve learned to focus less on “the right system” and more on building something that is good enough to support me where I actually am. That usually means simplifying, reusing tools I already have, and letting go of expectations that a system should work perfectly or consistently. This isn’t about optimization, discipline, or becoming more productive. It’s a working session with a peer who understands executive dysfunction firsthand and can help you think through what might support you without adding more to manage.
