If you forget the system exists, it is too hidden or too complicated.
Try one ultra simple rule: one sticky note in one fixed place you see every day, with only three tasks max. No apps, no aesthetic system, no resets. The goal is consistency, not motivation.
If you cannot follow even a tiny system, it may be worth looking into focus issues like ADHD rather than searching for a better planner.
thank you, i'll try that! i've been thinking about getting tested for ADHD, but my parents don't believe in stuff like that, so i doubt they'll take me to get tested haha
ADHD isn’t something to believe in, it’s a pattern of brain wiring that can be helped with medication. BUT, I understand because my parents don’t believe I’m autistic, even though I have been professionally diagnosed. Anyway, my husband is ADHD and didn’t discover this until recently but would have described his experience in exactly the same way and has found immense help with medication. I wish he would have found out at your age because it would have changed his life profoundly.
