Your to-do list overwhelms you. Everything feels equally urgent and important
You feel things SO intensely—a cancelled plan doesn't just disappoint you, it sends you spiraling
You're always 5-10 minutes late, no matter how hard you try
You've probably already tried every productivity system and organizational hack out there.
