This is false advertisement. Life doesn't give a damn about you. So it's up to you and you alone to propel yourself forward.

Damn thank you for writing this. You just described me better than I could describe myself to anyone. I’m successful but damn am I exhausted dealing with everything fight or flight mode my entire life.

I describe the way I operate as being able to take care of everything I need to take I care of inside a burning building, executing with adrenaline, and knowing exactly when the building will be coming down to know exactly when I need to get out. Somehow I make it out every time but damn it’s exhausting.

For me (and I get you 100%), I write it down. Something about a pen and a piece of paper is so focusing.

Whatever part of my brain organizes things for me is activated! A list, a plan, step by step, dates and deadlines.

It really feels like magic sometimes. And the little burst of endorphins from checking something off the list is sweet.
