This seems insightful. I was going to comment elsewhere that some people seem to find structured systems really bothersome, whereas I personally just do not. But I am an INTJ, if anything. The idea of not taking a systems approach feels incredibly foreign, to the extent I can’t even really imagine where one would start. How do you approach improving your personal outcomes related to ADHD without developing a system?

The short answer is that I try to maximize the strengths and minimize the struggles of ADHD. Some practical examples: - I have a job without any long-term projects (only long-term goals), so I never get bored from my tasks. - I keep my evening schedules clear so I have room to be spontaneous in my hobbies after work. This is prabably made easier by being an introvert as I don't have the need to socialize often. - I nurture an attitude toward my hobbies which is that the process in itself is always the goal. That it is okay to not finish a project as long as I keep learning new things. - I depricate any stressfull commitment which is neither important or meaningfull long-term. Also medication helps to overcome the menial hurdels.
