Careful though, because learning how to relax + executive dysfunction is a recipe for disaster.
If you manage to have executive dysfunction but not worry about it, I think it would be a massive win. You can work your way around it, instead of fighting it and feeling guilty
As long as you can afford to live comfortably
Turn on the "relax" lever and then you can't find the energy to turn it off again because you are in relax mode and that counts as work, like an elevator button to a Jew on Shabbat
True dat - that’s where the dopamine dial comes in handy, same for those same tools like breathwork in between switching from relaxing to doing.
I’m not going to pretend it’s perfect by any means, but I am better at it now in my 40s than I was in my 30s (only comparing medicated to medicated), so practice helps somewhat.
Yeah if I relax too much, nothing matters and gets done, the alternative is artificial time limits for one thing that somehow helps me do a completely other thing since Im putting off the main thing.
