While I recognise some of this dysfunction in my life, I think it is possible to avoid the worst excesses. I have a workshop and a tool fetish, which can be expensive but most of my tools have paid for themselves several times over considering the money saved doing things for myself.

We have bad impulse control but we're also good at improvising, it's not all bad. I don't actually care that much about having an attention deficit, I just want to be treated compassionately, the way I treat other people.

Tools can often pay for themselves even with just one project. Bonus: they spawn new projects to create tool storage!
