No judgement? Do you use strategies or meds or both? I’m curious.
For me both. But without my meds I’m pretty useless.

Seems like most of us are “list people”.
How do you all prevent the list from growing too large and just becoming another overwhelming thing?
Good question. I tend to try and keep the most important on one list and then try really hard to put the less important somewhere else. LOL
I got a list that I purposefully set up to grow. It’s not a to-do list… It’s a “might do” list. When things get messy in my to-do list, I move those items to the might-do list.
Having 100 undone items on that list isn’t a shameful thing, it means I said “no” to all those items (either actively or passively) and I try to celebrate that.
Multiple lists. Short-term, medium-term, long-term, “maybe eventually”. If one of them starts to feel like too much, I can kick some things down to the next one.
They’re also kinda based on how much focus will be needed to complete things, not just how important or time-sensitive things are. The medium/long lists are mostly stuff for “good brain days”.
