Greetings /adv/; I have ADHD, and this made me always forgetting

>>18567439
When I was a kid I took this stuff called "attend" based on a teacher's recommendation, and according to her it worked. It was sold at health stores over the counter.
I personally couldn't tell the difference (always got in trouble at that school anyways, fucking cunts now that I think about it).
I'm not sure if it still exists though, I only took it for a year. I was never diagnosed with anything though, and it wasn't considered a strong medicine.

ADHD diagnosed here. Let me give you my secret formula.

A) Build a habit. Habits are gonna be your backbone. Start work consistently. Sit in the same place, with the same chair, the same snack. Do it consistently for two or more weeks, even though it SUCKS. Just pull through. Build up associations, so you brain sees these cues and associates them with work. That makes it easier to get into a work mode.

B) Make it fun. Something that keeps your energy up but isn't too distracting. For me, it's music. For some other people it's audiobooks. For others, it's TV, though personally I find TV the worst distraction of all. Have something to fill the space while you work and keep from getting bored.

C) Make yourself accountable. Make it so people expect you to work or to provide a service or to have a paper on their desk by the afternoon. Guilt can be your friend, it can make you do something when nothing else will.

D) Give yourself immediate positive feedback and reward for a task completed or focus achieved for a good amount of time. This can be through 15 minutes of gaming or internet time (Set a timer! Do not let yourself get lost in it!) or through a to-do list and reward service like Habitica. ADHD craves immediate feedback and reward, use that to train yourself to do what you want to do.

P.S. Timers can be very helpful. You will work for X amount of time, you have Y minutes to complete a task. You have a break for Z minutes. They can trigger the "last minute hyperfocus rush" to complete a task. Give it a try. If it works, use the fuck out of it.

P.P.S. Keep a calendar and to-do list on your phone.

P.P.P.S. If you cannot make yourself work on something, work on something else that needs to be done so at least you are productuve while you are procrastinating
