Being neurodivergent in general has meant that basically all the “common sense” personal advice doesn’t apply to me I’ve learned

“Struggling to be productive? Just remove all distractions!” Nope, doesn’t work, never worked. In fact it makes it worse

“Struggling to sleep? Just try XYZ and keep a regular sleep schedule!”, nope, do my own thing, works better

“Struggling with burnout/exhaustion? You need to go and do things!” Nope, that will make it worse

And so on and so on
