Try not to start another task during the waiting time has worked for me. If you are able to listen to music, try an audio visualizer or something like that. That will give you something to look at while you wait. Or find some kind of fidget. I hope that helps, it has helped me some but certainly isn’t for everyone.

Oh, don’t forget to take small breaks if that helps as well.

People don’t realize it but most fish that are thrown back die from their injuries.

Unfortunately in most states in the US they can fire you without giving a cause.

It does sound dubious, but there are good studies on it. You aren’t going make great gains, it just shows improvement that going without doesn’t. This is why it is also recommended to really focus on lifting and be mindful of the exercise you are doing.

There is research that shows imaging yourself doing exercise for the same amount of time you would otherwise exercise does have benefits.

I think what they are saying is that Meta is powerful enough to get away with it. You are attempting to equate two different things.

Meta isn’t using the books for entertainment purposes. They are using another IP to develop their own product. There has to be a distinction here.

Most people with ADHD have brains that are diametrically opposed to habit forming. Every single task that I do every day is performed deliberately.

Oh man, I did the same thing with DDR in the early 00s.

If you do it enough, yes.

You may already know this but it isn’t clear from your post. Depression doesn’t come with ADHD, it is caused the effects of ADHD. Like, you get depressed because ADHD makes life harder. I would recommend trying to treat your ADHD first and see if that helps. This can help improve self esteem. If that does help your depression you may need a separate treatment.

You definitely need to speak with a psychiatrist though. Some cases require immediate treatment of depression, which is really how I’ve seen ketamine being used.

Having everything within reach for a task is a good point. I would also recommend assigning places for everything. If you are using something, it only goes in its place when done, immediately.

I would recommend setting alarms for specific things. I’ve heard good things about The Heroe’s Journal for habit forming and getting things done. It can help you gamify things. I believe there are some free apps that help you gamify these things as well.

Sometimes it can be difficult to break out of your shell.

I have no problem with paying for no ads, in fact I think it’s ideal. But they keep increasing prices and justifying it by including YT Music. Honestly, if you aren’t paying for another music service already it’s a great deal. Problem is I don’t know anyone that does this.

That’s a good question, I haven’t actually used the Spotify integration, just seen that it’s an option. I know it is more to set time for focus with automatic breaks and return to focus times.

Windows has this built in but I forget what it’s called. It even integrates with Spotify.

It’s harmless.

They never know, you can take lots.

Why do you think this would work? Who said this works? It sounds like a good way for your friend to make money.

You aren’t forgetting things because you are losing money. That is not how ADHD works. If consequences made you remember you wouldn’t be forgetting in the first place.

Please do not do this. The person that came up with this idea is a quack.
