The Executive Function Tax
I’ve spent several years observing, studying and writing about tax noncompliance among small business owners. The pattern I keep finding has little to do with willingness to pay and a lot to do with the design of the tax compliance system itself.
The same traits that drive entrepreneurial performance - tolerance for ambiguity, fast pivots, sustained focus on the thing in front of you - leave predictable gaps under any regime built on deadlines, record-keeping and self-initiated filings. A W-2 employee with those traits is still tax compliant, because payroll withholding does the work. Move the same person to self-employment and compliance becomes a quarterly task with no prompt, no deduction at source, and penalties that compound in silence.
Outside of the tax world, I often notice business and personal behaviors in owners that look like the traits associated with ADHD. I am not diagnosing anyone. Most chronic non-filers have no clinical diagnosis and never will, and I have no standing to offer one. The useful framing isn’t “my clients have ADHD.” It’s that the tax system levies a hidden tax on executive function, and payroll departments have been quietly paying it on behalf of employees for generations. Independent operators pay it themselves.
That reframe changes what I can do about it. An automatic transfer to a separate tax reserve account on the day money lands beats any reminder to save for taxes. A standing quarterly appointment already on the calendar beats a filing deadline the client has to remember. Neither asks the client to become someone they aren’t. Building the automatic structure a payroll department provides is a service design option in the tax profession, and it belongs on the coaching side of my practice rather than the clinical diagnostic side, where I don’t belong at all.

    Feeling burnt out or depressed? It matters for your treatment. Learn the difference and take care of yourself, BrainJoos can help track patterns!

    Burnout is often work-related stress, while depression is a mood disorder that affects daily life. Knowing the difference helps tailor your support system.

        Mental Health [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

        My visit with the psychiatrist went well. She actually upped my Seroquel and explained I don't have a dependency on it but that it just fixes what my brain does without it. For some context, it basically makes me dependent on it for sleep. If I miss a dose, I don't sleep for days until I take it again.

        She explained my mania I have been experiencing occasionally while on the Seroquel is likely hypo-mania from how I describe it.

        For my anxiety issues, she prescribed me Hydroxyzine to take as needed. I also got a referral for Autism and ADHD testing.

              ADHD can be biologically grounded, diagnostically constructed AND socially mediated.
              I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood; the signs went back to childhood, but I never fit the stereotype, and anxiety muddied the picture further.

                  Kauppiaatkin hyötyvät impulsiivisesta shoppailusta.

                  Myös nykyisellään valtio hyötyy ALKO:n kautta jos viina virtaa itselääkinnällisesti.

                  Elinkeinoelämän keskusliittoa voi jurppia jos kansa voi hyvin eikä velkaannu ja voi huonosti.

                  Toki vain silloin kun siellä on ihan väärät ihmiset suhmuroimassa.

                  Kansantaloudellisesti parantaisi takuulla vientinäkymiä se että terveet ja itsenäiset, hyvinvoivat kantaisivat kortensa kekoon kukin kykyjensä mukaan, saaden yhteiskunnalta tarpeidensa mukaan.

                  Verotustakin pitäis rukata progressiiviseksi.

                  Nyt tekohengitetään taloutta missä rahaa siirtyy perintöinä ja perillisille, omistavalle luokalle tarjoillaan kaikki kultalautasella. He saavat yhteiskunnallta kotitalousvähennystenkin kautta etuoikeuksia helpottamaan pärjäämistään.

                  Perinnöttömät nuolevat näppejään ja heille huudellaan sitten "menkää töihin" vaikka 100 000 työpaikkaa on yhä toteutumatta.
                  Eikä yltiöyksityistetyssä systeemissä hoitamatta jätettyjä ADHD oireilijoita palkata. Ei ole kuntouttavaa työllistämistäkään..

                  Kyllähän tämä kaikki haisee jo todella pahalle..

                  Sipilän äärikonservatiivinen, patamusta porvarihallitus pelleili aktiivimallinsa kanssa purkamalla samaan aikaan hyvinvointivaltiota. Oli itse aikoinaan konkurssin partaalla, mutta saivat ylivallan ja hän sukuineen pelastui valtion rahoilla.

                  Minua itseäni pelottaa se ettei vasemmalla hahmoteta miten systemaattisesti äärioikeisto on toiminut.

                  On pelottavaa miten vasemmallakin tyrkytetään ideologiaa tuhota yhteiskunta, sen hyvinvointipalvelut ja tilalle lapsellista unelmaa jostain pienryhmistä. Samaa paskaa mutta eri paketissa. Tyrkyttäjillä samalaisia unelmia kuin Nalle Wahlroosilla aikoinaan änkyrätaistolaisena päästä kalifiksi kalifin paikalle. Nyt hän itkee verotuksesta vaikka on saanut kaiken muun muttei kuninkaankruunua.

                    I’ve just had a bit of an epiphany that has created a sense of mental relief… 🎉

                    for quite a while now, as a strategy to save myself from keeping many many browser windows open indefinitely (each with several-to- many tabs), I’ve taken to saving anything even vaguely interesting to a “TO SORT” bookmarks folder – with the intention (and implied requirement) of periodically going through them & adding them to the appropriate hierarchical bookmarks subfolder later

                    just now I renamed my “TO SORT” bookmarks folder to “🧠 BRAIN DUMP” to take the pressure off myself that I ever need to sort them, unless I really want to (and have the requisite spoons to do so) 😮‍💨
                     
                     
                    so long as I save them somewhere that doesn’t add the friction of making me decide where to save them (and that doesn’t randomly clutter up my previously-organised bookmarks folder structure), they’re available to find again when I’m looking for “that article I read about that thing” (yes, I sync & back up my bookmarks)

                    the important thing (for me) is to get them stashed away somewhere so that I can do something with them later if I actually need to. it’s kind of like a inbox but for everything I read & may (in theory) want to revisit some day
                     
                     
                    I also save a Bunch™ of stuff to Zotero for research or later use as I’m going, but just quickly saving them as brain dump bookmarks also means that I don’t have to decide right now which sub-library they need to go in, nor which tags I should add 😮‍💨

                    when I’m actively working on something that I need all my Zotero references for, I can search my bookmarks for related things and add them & any metadata as needed
