Great insights there Jody! I've always loved reading your stuff.

I don't have ADHD so I can't really relate to how you feel. But I do relate to the fact that not every technique works for everyone. Like "eat the frog" is DEFINITELY not for me. I start with small tasks and build momentum over the rest of the day and then use momentum to finish strong.

I do however believe in doing hard things. And I do start my day with a hard thing on most days (a hard work out) cause that helps me get momentum. And since my brain is working fine, I guess it pumps put the necessary dopamine after that to give me a sense of accomplishment.

Maybe some hard things are not that beneficial. They're just hard. But I do still find value in them. Doing hard things keeps us aquatinted with pain amd suffering. I think it's very important for us to learn to live through pain. Keeping it around makes sure you don't forget what it feels like and you don't get overwhelmed if it pops up somewhere in your life.

I'm interested in hearing what you think of that.

Cheers man!
