So strange that we keep planning for a fully working brain.
I think framing it that way is part of the problem. Your brain works the way it works. There's no need to call that a defect because normal is an imaginary concept that only exists in statistics.
I phrased it poorly, but the phenomenon stands: I plan for a brain that does not have ADHD. Medicated, after over 40 years, the plans get executed exactly as planned. Makes me wonder where my brain "learned" to plan for that medicated state, and why it never "learned" to adjust to the state it has been in over 40 years.
