Does time blocking tasks for the day work for anyone? I get caught up, unable to finish tasks within the time block and feel miserable.

To me this is utterly useless. I thrive by leveraging some of my ADHD not fighting it entirely. I know that I can’t do one task for a long time so I just keep a few things going and avoid procrastination by procrastinating each thing by doing a different thing. If I block time I won’t be as productive because I’m just trying to get to the end of the block and I get anxious if my schedule changes

Sometimes yes. As long as nothing distracts me. But you have to be realistic with your time blocks. I feel like putting on a 20 min timer with a small short term goal works better for me

I get anxious when my schedule changes and I’m unable to adhere to the time blocks I created. I prefer to have a general list of things that I expect to get done in a day.

Here is my current cocktail: Caffeine 400mg (200 when I wake up then another 200 when I go to the gym 30 minutes later), Modafinil 150, Bupropian XL 150. I used to take adderall but it made me crazy for lack of a better word. Looking to add a stimulant for focus. Suggestions? Currently deciding between Ritalin and Vyvanse. Also, I know I’m a stim junkie I was taking adderall for 20 years so my tolerance is pretty high. Please keep it positive and helpful thanks
