    As a person with adhd, for me it is: “Better make a little progress than none at all.” If i spend even 15 to 30 minutes once every few days, i will eventually get the result, than not doing it at all. Also, spening a lot of time and effort will exhaust me quickly, compared to just 15 to 30 minutes.

      This is a great rule to follow!! This framing has helped me break past the inability to get started on a task so many times.

        This rule goes along with another one. Firtsly i make my things work at all, even if they suck. I can always improve them or add something new later. This rule allows me return to my old projects, and every time do new incremental progress.

      Also helps to not overthink what’s being done. Just Do It. Takes 90% less time to just act

        This is the problem that i struggle with. I think too much before doing anything.
