Subtle joke right there, if I may venture? I think technological systems for managing ADHD are targeted mainly towards J-type personalities (Myers-Briggs). As a hard P-type, I generally perceive Systems as detrimental to my well-being. A take which of course is riddled with both fallacies and exceptions (so don't hold me too harshly to it). What's holding me back from checking out any sort of recommandation is the fear of commitment. Everything eventually becomes one (or more) of the following: - A joyous commitment - A meaningfull commitment - A stressfull commitment Having a kitten is joyous. Having a 17 year old cat is all of the above. Systems—good, usefull and fascinating as they may be—generally tend to fit in the 'stressfull' category. Especially those who encroach toward a hobby/hyper-fixation during the honeymoon period. (The one system I still use on a day-to-day basis is a calendar. Because I have to. It's not joyous, but it's meaningfull.) | ||

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? | ||
