I just wrote a sibling comment echoing essentially the same philosophy, although you've elucidated the principles in more detail. As I wrote, my system is basically use a paper filing system (don't overthink it, just alphabetically ordered, labeled manila files), Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Obsidian on my phone for miscellaneous note-taking.

I'm eager to learn more about your systems. Where's your blog?

My blog is at https://blog.emacsen.net but I haven't written much.

The problem I have is that writing the why is harder than the what.

For example, I use a modified Cycle System, but some of my modifications are around how many tasks I do a day, and how I categorize which tasks I do.

As an example, understanding task limits and why you should use them is important. As I write out my thoughts about them, it feels boring.

Then I put the blog down and don't pick it up again. Maybe I should do it anyway.

I would love to read a continuation of this blog. I don't have an ADHD diagnose or even a suspicion of one but these problems of organizing everyone has. It's just easier or harder to get to grips with them. We need more different views of how minds work so we can find the one that resonates. Short posts that solve one problem is perfect so one can get one step in the right direction at a time.
