Meanwhile I’m sitting here with my ADHD brain that is unable to read the first two sentences of a manual without losing focus and thinking about 15 other things and marveling at those can actually get through something like that and have it stick in their brain longer than 5 minutes.
Oh, reading a manual is a very involved process for me. First, I’ll put the task in my bullet journal, then I’ll postpone it to the next week, then to the month, then to the next month. And then, if I feel lucky, I’ll bring it back into my daily log, and postpone it a few more days before getting annoyed with writing it down so many times that it could fill a full page, and finally reading it.
The trick with my ADHD brain is to refer to documentation when I’m hyperfocused on how the thing works for some reason. It doesn’t have to be because it’s broken, but it could be, lol.

For me, it’s only when it’s broken.
To be fair, that is a great point in time to be RTFM.
