I second Adderall. Also, I lean in hard on organizational tools. Team tools like task lists that increase transparency also remind me of everything my teams are working on. I also like dashboards that collect and bring relevant information to me as much as possible.
Adderall when I need it and willpower when I don’t
Adderall use/dependency is very bad for you even if you have ADHD. Try some combination of exercise, planning, routine, and discipline.
No judgement from me, I was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed a variety of stimulant based medications for it over a period of many years. Just sharing a different perspective as someone who suffered negative consequences from stimulant medications. These medications put strain on your heart and affect your baseline dopamine levels which invariably leads to some range of dependence. I manage now with exactly what I said, fitness and routine but of course it’s still a struggle. I don’t think medication is one size fits all, but it may work for some people.
Squeeze ball
I’m undiagnosed but fairly certain I do. I’ve gone my entire life without any stimulants (caffeine or anything else), and have recently been self medicating with caffeine. It’s significantly improved my ability to be motivated, productive, and focused.
I’m very careful not to consume caffeine more then 3-4 times a week, because if I do the days without it are miserable and exhausting due to the adenosine receptors being more able to re-uptake circulating melatonin.
Wait until the deadline causes desperation and then thrive and perform in the franticness.
Brute force and enthusiasm
Fresh air, adderall, plenty of water.. Personally if I organize my space before I leave it will do wonders for the next day.
Taking notes of everything, keep files and information in places where you can find them
Adderall triggers too much anger. Concerta works too.
I try to break my workload into small, manageable tasks that I know I'll be able to tackle before my attention span starts to wane. On the days it's particularly bad, I'll take Adderall. I'm prescribed 30 mg, 2 x 15mg pills/day. I try to only take one, but some days I need both to get by.
When my watch tells me to get up I do a lap or two, prob should do more though lol
First, believe you can do it. Take breaks, get fresh air (walk) when you can. Take notes as you go. All of these can be difficult, the struggle is real. Also, Remember to drink water and eat,
Vyvanse, notebooks for projects based on color or design, notecards and organized post-it notes, a clean desk, and having things very, very quiet is a must (home office preferred)
