interventions that have helped me deal with ADHD (or whatever i have): non-pharmaceutical - less (ideally no) alcohol - getting things done framework (GTD, or just use lists + calendars religiously). GTD saved my ass at my first startup - 2-minute rule is from GTD, but good enough to mention separately; if it takes less than 2 minutes, do it right now - be asleep before 11pm - exercise (cardio, doesn’t take much) - mindfulness meditation (HUGE) - breathing exercises if you struggle with anxiety - when in doubt, neaten up - take intentional work and screen breaks. keep an eye on your technology addiction pharmaceutical - nicotine. i use 3mg nicotine pouches for deep focus, any more and i get strongly addicted (used to vape…if you vape, stop. trust me, it’s terrible for you and makes your adhd worse) - Sudafed on days i’m having bad brain fog (boosts norepinephrine, but i have terrible allergies and am frequently on it anyway) - i’m experimenting with some supplements (magnesium glycinate and NAC)

Spent the year wrestling with adhd. Nootropics, microdosing, and Ritalin. Felt a lil off in all of them. Now trying to work with the mind instead of trying to make it work. Your tips are super helpful. Ty!

This is a helpful list. Adult diagnosed here but unusual type. I find easing up on the productivity cult helps me. Along with mindfulness, box breathing, caffeine (in moderation) and sleep. I can still hyperfocus on stupid shit but not as much as I used to.
