Your systems are probably broken, not your brain. Being able to work with different systems makes it a lot more fun. It's not just better for you and what you do, but it's also a lot more fun. Most people that I see who fail to actually get tasks done once they understand the strategy.

They fail to get tasks done because of a feeling that I ought to be able to just do it. I should just be able to do it. I don't understand why I can't do it. Everyone else can do it. And that feeling, unfortunately,
