With ADHD, a single HN post could have me following source material and child nodes up to 5-6 layers deep.
Once the time-blindness wears off, the anxiety sets in you realize hours have passed and outstanding work is due soon.
What sort of worked:
- Blocking web sites during work hours (SelfControl for MacOS and NextDNS for devices)
What did work:
- Consistent sleep schedule (10PM)
- Mindfulness meditation in the morning
- Getting physically active in the morning
- Working in a different environment
What helped on top of that:
- Getting prescribed for ADHD medication
- Professional counseling from a therapist
- Dealing with what’s causing your anxiety (or depression)
- mattbdc 4y agothis is a solid framework for coping/lifestyle modifications for ADHD. I'll add nutrition to the list. And for me personally: time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting (water fasts were not good for me, but time-restricted eating/staying in a 'fasted state' is)

- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 4y ago> Working in a different environment By this, do you mean working in a different physical environment from where you relax? Or continuously changing your work environment? Or something else?
