When both partners have ADHD and struggle to maintain shared systems

My partner and I are both ADHD and we keep trying to create systems together - for our finances, our schedules, our household - but we'll hyperfocus on building the perfect system for three days and then neither of us can maintain it. We're exhausted from starting over and I think we're both secretly wondering if we're just incompatible in ways that matter.
