Like my ex therapist. “Just make lists and read them to remember” That would involve me remembering to 1- make the list 2- read it at the right time 3- act upon it, yeah go lock with that.

  1. Remember to write down the tasks.
  2. Find a way to stay organised with a large number of tasks.

  1. Remember you have tasks and there is a list around here somewhere...

  1. I’ll check my list after I’m done with this thing…
  2. … you look up and the sun is set, you forgot to eat lunch.

  1. oh hey there's that list on the kitchen counter!

The real issue here is the attitude of "just do X". Like making lists works for some people with ADHD but not all of them. You have to try it to find out. As a fucking therapist you'd think they would know that

Sounds like advice. I don't think my therapist gave me any advice unless I begged her and we did the whole CBT bit first.
