You're Brilliant. You're Scattered. You're Stuck.The neurodivergent curse: 137 unfinished projects and zero systematic execution
You know you have medicine the world needs.
Insights forged in fire. Frameworks born from struggle. Wisdom earned through transformation.
But every time you try to write, your brilliance becomes your prison:
- The perfectionist spiral — “It’s not ready yet, needs more research”
- The hyperfocus trap — Disappear into chapter 1 for 14 hours, abandon chapter 2
- The scattered genius — 47 brilliant ideas, zero finished books
- The expertise paralysis — “Who am I to write about this?”
You’re not broken. The systems are.
Traditional writing advice assumes neurotypical brains that work in straight lines. Your neurodivergent mind works in webs, cycles, and intensity bursts.
When you try to force neurotypical systems onto neurodivergent hardware, you get:
- Constant feelings of failure and inadequacy
- Brilliant ideas that die in implementation
- Analysis paralysis disguised as “being thorough”
- Exhaustion from fighting your own nature
The problem isn’t your brain. It’s the method.
