I came to a startling realization this morning while getting ready to start my day. I plan my day around various contingencies because I know that if I don’t feel like doing a task, nothing will stop me from not doing it. It’s like I live in fear of myself like I’m some sort of moody army general and I have to work around my own impulsiveness. I take adderall and that helps me to focus but most of my adhd problems are things that I’m not sure medicine will help. Has anyone successfully gotten at least a little handle on their productivity? How did you do it?

I’ll also explain what made me come to this realization. I had the thought, “thank God I’ve been in mood to be frugal recently, I’m scared of when that feeling goes away and I start spending money on stupid shit again” So yeah, impulsivity is a problem 😅
