Making sure to take breaks while doing work and having a reward system such as a piece of candy or something

I am medicated but stimulants don’t solve everything if you don’t have certain systems in place. For example one thing that helps me is if I have tasks to complete I refuse to stay in comfy clothes until everything is completed. As others have referenced I create reward systems for each task I get done. I treat every task like it’s a game instead of “work”. If you are able I highly recommend speaking to a professional about your symptoms!

I find having a video on like a reddit vid or video essay on while I do tasks helps me complete them. As for sleep excersize and asmr. Coffee gives me a boost for energy as do naps

Definitely keep a schedule and a to do list. And find something to keep your brain engaged during class. Sometimes I play Missile Command while the teacher is talking, and it actually helps me stay awake. During church I take notes to help me stay awake.

adderall tbh 😭 i had such bad executive dysfunction before adhd meds. the easiest way i can explain it is before the meds it was like my brain and body were disconnected so it my brain could be yelling at my body to get up and move but my body didn’t listen and now it takes abt 2 seconds for my body to listen to my brain and that def helped w my MDD, anxiety and overall consistency.
