You picked up this book because you have bought 3 planners this year, set 12 alarms, and still watched the day dissolve by 10 a.m. You are not lazy. Your brain runs on a different operating system, 1 where working memory slips, time feels elastic, and motivation arrives only when a task feels rewarding. Advice built for neurotypical brains keeps failing you for a reason. It was never built for you.This book is not a discipline manual or a collection of motivational quotes about try...
