Thanks for the correction. I try not to assume neurotypicality and I should be more clear that everything I say is just a suggestion that may or not be helpful.<p>I agree that you can&#x27;t think away structural stuff. What I wanted to say is that you can use clear thoughts and intentions to guide you to do things that deviate from your habits, which I think is mostly true.<p>For example, working around your attention problems by consciously using music and caffeine is something you could remind yourself of consciously in case you would forget. That type of thing.<p>I know that willpower is a tricky thing. That&#x27;s why I emphasize thinking about something that you <i>already</i> enjoy and that takes you to a different mind state from the one that is causing problems. For me, that&#x27;s cooking, but also riding bikes and walking. If I consciously decide to do slightly more of those things, that seems to be an effective and not-too-painful way of &quot;improving&quot; my average mind state.
