> Exercise, eat right, go outside and garden. Ritalin has helped tremendously with my ability to get to bed on time, to eat more consistently on a schedule, to cook my own food, and to exercise occasionally. I don't mean to be rude, but going to someone with problems with executive dysfunction and saying, "it's fine, here's a list of regular activities that you'll do consistently every day until they become a habit" is not helpful advice. "Don't skip meals." "But I do skip meals." "Well... don't. Don't harder." Meanwhile, the psychiatrist says, "take an extended-release pill daily, and then set timers on your watch to remind yourself to eat." And it works! Because when the timers go off, I now have enough willpower to step away from Emacs for 15 minutes and put some veggies in a pan.
