HAHAH thank you for this. Made me giggle.

Start with something really little. Like, if you’re procrastinating sending an email, just start with clicking the New Email button, and writing the subject line. If you don’t feel like doing more, minimize it and do it later. But a lot of the time you’ll keep going. Starting little is really important because it keeps you from psyching yourself out.

Intermittent fasting + low carb breakfasts. Or keto. I save carbs for the afternoon and night time. I was convinced I had ADHD this year but I’m figuring out my lack of focus and procrastination is more because of food fatigue and energy crashes. Has helped me a lot!

Try the pomodoro technique

isnt it hard to be a strategist if you procrastinate a lot? i feel like our job actually requires us to put in the time to do the research & the thinking & the crafting…

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?
