Stop trying to build habits.
You've been at it for years and the advice was never going to work for you. If you’re the person who hasn’t showered in three days and has fourteen unread emails from their landlord, keep reading.
I made a two-page guide called the Six Survival Steps. It's for the days when you're completely frozen and can't think. It gives you something to do when you feel like you can't do anything.

Ghost Habits
Most productivity advice assumes you can do anything if you just try hard enough.Ghost Habits assumes you can’t. And builds from there.
You don't need habits or routines. When you crash, because you will, take as long as you need. Without that downtime you won't do anything anyway.
Eight tools that show up when you need them and disappear when you don't. No streak to lose. No system to fail. A way back in every time you stop, because stopping is part of how this works.

Who It’s For:You’ve got ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, or executive dysfunction. Or you suspect you do. Or you just know that the advice everyone else swears by has never once worked for you.You’ve tried the planners, the apps, the habit trackers, the 5 a.m. routines. You’ve read the books by the guys who wake up at 4:30 and take cold showers and somehow run three companies, and none of it helped. This is the book for after all of that.

About N.D. Olson
N.D. grew up in a small town in the US Midwest and now lives in Northern Europe. Ghost Habits is a debut nonfiction book.Most of it was written at a standing desk with endless espresso and a café sounds playlist, both non-negotiable, while Leo, the cat, slept in his grocery store cardboard box unbothered by it all.Away from the desk, N.D. hikes day trails, cooks, watches too much reality TV, and is working through a backlog of true crime podcasts. One of those day hikes last year veered too close to a clothing-optional beach that was definitely not on the trail map.Ghost Habits came out of years of productivity advice that never worked and finally figuring out why.
