A neurodivergent win can be changing the environment instead of blaming yourself. Move the task into sight, lower the noise, or make the first step smaller. Support is not cheating; it is good design.
An ADHD brain can lose the plan and still keep the spark. A note on the door, a timer across the room, or a friend checking in can turn intention into motion. Tiny bridges count.
Does anyone else suffer from the unjustified confidence that there’ll be time to meet (or do stuff, or take on new projects) in the very near future if not now? It leads to some interesting downstream, um, layered planning.

Change is possible at any age. Not the fade-in-a-few-weeks kind, the kind that sticks.
The difference is readiness, not willpower. Build that first, and change becomes inevitable.
