Things my ADHD coach taught me 4ish: keep a distraction log and be intentional. If I’m having trouble getting going on a project because other things get in the way, I write down the other thing so I can get it out of my head and on a list. Then be intentional with priorities.

But I get real specific about it like
Gather clothes
Load/start washer (5 mins)
Prepare outline (25 minutes)
Swap to dryer
Write section (60 minutes)
