it's completely typical and common to have a hard time staying focused, get inspired to do things but then lose interest, feel overwhelmed, mix up words occasionally, or lose track of time
successful people have learned how to combat these tendencies by implementing systems and habits, which over time gradually become so integrated into how they live that it looks natural
i see a lot of people self-diagnosing themselves with all sorts of Disorders or "Neurodivergency" or some other all encompassing clinical-sounding ailment to explain the struggles they have with seemingly ordinary tasks.
i have news for you: everyone struggles with seemingly ordinary tasks. life is challenging. getting simple things done is not always easy. staying focused requires practice and effort.
the feeling that life is hard is the most common thing in the world. the notion that you are somehow atypical because you're scattered and unproductive is to get it completely backwards. to not feel that way is weird and uncommon.
success and happiness are rare because what's truly atypical, divergent, and unusual is to put in the sustained effort necessary to overcome shortcomings and get hard tasks done consistently over long stretches of time.
you don't have a problem, you're a human being.
i assure you, if you're having a hard time you are in good company. it's hard for most people. it's supposed to be hard. the trick is to lean into the discomfort.
it's on the other side of sustained effort and accepting responsibility for everything that happens to you where the treasure you seek is hiding ✨
