As a person with adhd, for me it is: "Better make a little progress than none at all." If i spend even 15 to 30 minutes once every few days, i will eventually get the result, than not doing it at all. Also, spening a lot of time and effort will exhaust me quickly, compared to just 15 to 30 minutes.
This rule goes along with another one. Firtsly i make my things work at all, even if they suck. I can always improve them or add something new later. This rule allows me return to my old projects, and every time do new incremental progress.
Hanlon's razor: never attribute to maliciousness that which can be explained by stupidity. With a corallary: never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by mere ignorance.

This is a great rule to follow!! This framing has helped me break past the inability to get started on a task so many times.

Also: embrace the impermanence.

for people: start with kindness there will be enough time to give them a hard time, if they suck.
also: give them chances to normalise the relationship (but know boundaries!)

Call out bullshit when I see it, regardless of who it's coming from.
It's served me well enough so far.

As a recovering people pleaser: Not my circus, not my monkeys.
I've had to learn to stop trying to fix everything for everyone all the time.
