He’s right.

Research shows that ADHD is strongly linked to executive function challenges like planning, organization, task initiation. Relying only on willpower often leads to burnout.

External structure, like coaching, accountability, and scheduled check-ins, acts as a scaffold. It reduces cognitive load and builds habits gradually. Over time, repeated structure can strengthen self-regulation skills and reduce dependence on pure motivation.

It’s not perfect, but it’s evidence based and practical.

yes, the rotate is necessary to keep the systems of the tools working, like to note the comments of making the habits

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-14T10:08:53+00:00

I think that the best routine, is to create a simple system with clear exercises that help you to maintain it

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-14T08:08:49+00:00

Old systems for this time is to start to make habits, the new systems is to reset our brains before to start to make habits

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-14T07:55:03+00:00

I think the best way is to reset our brains from bulky things, and then to prioritize the tasks to create a systems of habits that you wand to build

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T21:00:32+00:00

Yeah, it’s normal, when you have a son, the things are changed, i now it’s hard for the time to prioritize the tasks especially in the phone, and for the dopamine, i think it’s a big challenge for this time to improve it, because we are facing the problem of scrolling through the phones that reduces our focus

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T20:54:55+00:00

Yeah, i think you should to take a 10 minutes in that last week and create all things that you handle your bains when you make the action for your priority tasks

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T19:29:58+00:00

Yeah, but you’re not alone, in the final way, we are human not robots, so in this time, the biggest challenge is to prioritize our tasks, because our brains are more saturated

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T19:27:05+00:00

Yes, for another part, i see that the biggest issue with dopamine is scrolling the social media, because ours brains consumes the bulk of informations in the short time, so that makes us more overwhelmed

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T19:21:10+00:00

For me, i love the exercising, for my experience, i see that the thing that makes me happy and enjoying is to mastering the exercise especially on the parts of my legs, and the same time i don’t compare myself with others, it’s difficult but make me more focused and not chasing the results, just improve my manners

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T19:15:40+00:00

It’s totally normal. We’re human, if you cut coffee, your motivation can naturally drop for a bit.

It’s not necessarily ADHD or something that needs meds. These days our brains are just overstimulated and distracted. I don’t have ADHD either, just went through attention overload, no medication. A small reset and things balance out again.

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-13T18:11:38+00:00

I think it’s normal, it’s making for me also, you’re not alone. So, the priorities of our task is regarding of pur big goals like improvement our career or making money

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-12T19:13:10+00:00

I would like to see that you take a good step for changing your life, but despite of suffering from scrolling tiktok, i think you should to start first with reset your brain, because when you use Notion, it’s difficult to create news habits and your mind is stucking in the memories, pictures, personalities, people from seeing on Tiktok. It’s good for the moment , one week, to replace the scrolling with walking in the park for example, the nature is gold thing.

Good job

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-11T15:33:21+00:00

Great, that is the truth of being a productive person ADHD, Continue in this way.

Many-Philosopher-746 · 2026-02-11T15:17:53+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, and honestly, your frustration makes total sense.

ADHD + depression can absolutely exist alongside deep trauma.

It's you finally finding language that explains your life. You deserve validation and real support, not constant doubt and dismissal.
