Thank you very much. I'm quite scared of medications, tbh, but I'd very much like to explore improving techniques.

  The stimulant caffeine is a popular alternative (provided you’re not overly sensitive to it [it can cause heart palpitations and anxiety], and don’t take it too late in the day) — lots of people use it to self-medicate ;)

    Yes, I used to go really heavy on it. Had to quit it almost entirely, for both heart palpitations and anxiety.

      Not to harp on about medications, but there are “non-stimulant” medications used to successfully treat ADHD as well, such as Strattera. On the non-medicine side, techniques like bullet journaling are useful, also having “accountability partners” — friends or groups you report in with each week to check on each other’s progress; things like that.

        Exercise and mindfulness also worth mentioning. Good sleep also a biggie.
