What are your best tools for self-motivation at work? There are days when it takes a huge amount of effort for me to get started and in the groove and I'm looking for ways to make work days easier.

I listen to music in the mornings before work which helps a lot. Obviously tough for someone with ADHD but a morning routine that makes you feel good can really help you feel more ready to get started in the AM.

What kind of playlist do you listen to? I may have to give this a try. I really struggle in the mornings

I have a really good playlist that seems to soothe me and help me be productive. I also say affirmations every morning and do a lot of self care which helps me to stay motivated.

Finally found a provider who listens and is helping me get ADHD controlled. Also diagnosed me w/anxiety. Treating w/Adderall and Wellbutrin, but she's telehealth so can't prescribe anymore. Was transfering Rx to my PCP under her guidance but my BP was high at my yearly (was a particularly stressful day at work, BP was normal the last 3 years). PCP won't coordinate care until I see a cardio. Anxious something will be wrong and I can't be treated for ADHD anymore 😩 anyone else here w/high BP?
