That's why i only make routines that are easy to follow because they cost almost no energy.
Accidentally fall back into your system because you don’t actually have another, or really any backup plan whatsoever. Play it off like it was discipline. Share system with other NDs as if you have answers.
Abandoning
At some random moment completely and utterly purge it from thought for a random amount of time (and then several months later going 'oh yeah, shit').
Yup! It's not "abandoning" per se, it's more like "totally forgetting that I was trying a new life routine, so stopped doing it"
That's why it's so hard to take medication every day.
Not because the excitement is gone, but really because your brain has spicy connectors that misbehave and misfire all the time…
Makes it even worse.
your brain has spicy connectors that misbehave
you know what i've been thinking? your brain doesn't actually misbehave, it does exactly what it's meant to do. just that society is talking bullshit expectations about your behavior. and your brain doesn't follow the bullshit.
I think there's some that go through that dwindling urge to keep going. But there are also the ones that you describe, the "oh, new shiny thing".
Do elaborate
Is this adhd or just everyone?
Joke's on you, I don't even make it to step two!
I'm like this with RPG's too.
If I had the ability to restart my life over, I would probably never get past 5.
