    Look, I’m one of those ADHD folks who are pretty successful in their career despite all the mental issues.

    Let me tell you, it still kinda sucks. Every day is a struggle. Even though it always works out in the end for me, the process is the punishment.

    Any incremental improvement is worth it, IMO. Think of it like the flip side of the swiss cheese security model.

    My intentional mindset and positive thinking don’t make my ADHD go away. But maybe they give me that last bit of motivation to get out of bed one day, or they flip the script and remind me that whatever activity my family wants to do with me this evening is way more important than that spare bedroom I finally started cleaning after several years.

    When it comes to mental health and enjoying existence, never stop giving yourself the best chance you can.
