As someone with ADHD, it's actually excellent advice. The problem isn't the advice, it's not sticking to it and developing a habit. Now that I use one regularly it's great. The trick is finding what works for you. I kept putting calendars and planners near my computer, where I could see them, but once I put it actually on my second monitor which is up all the time, it clicked.

As someone with ADHD, it's actually excellent advice for you, so you might want to own that, friend.

There are millions of others for whom this is infuriatingly flippant, dismissive, and altogether demeaning. Lucky you, but your personal experience is irrelevant to the general consensus in this regard. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

It's exactly as relevant as anyone else's, and if you can't infer that I was offering a personal anecdote you shouldn't be participating in a public forum.

How very ironic of you.
