I do feel the need to point out this model is far from universal.

For instance, I'm bipolar and my brain does not do effort/reward or duration. It also forgets, ignores, or refuses things no matter how much motivation I have.

I've had to find different strategies that do not rely on executive function. For example, buying a car that had a push button to start instead of a key.

Thank you for saying this. I feel like your car hack comes down on the effort side of the equation (and I admire the hack!), and I also want to say that I respect what you're saying about memory and motivation. I'm struggling with my own limits and digging into this for those reasons...
