I understand most of what you’re saying, but wouldn’t setting a reminder help with some things? I have ADHD and it does help me with some of the things I need to get done. Is your problem with that one more that it just sounds condescending?
Of course it would, but it’s like meeting a deaf person and suggesting hearing aids and closed captioning. You think people don’t know about setting reminders?
Just thinking about reminders is making me anxious. And arbitrary reminders or artificial deadlines are totally useless because I set them and know they don’t matter, so I’ll just skip them anyway.

They’re all pretty helpful. I also don’t understand.
I can understand that they are not magic fixes and they are overstated as advice, but I would agree that at least some of them help a lot of people.
