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!

gtd has been huge for me. I was the kind of kid who’d turn up for school with no pen and had no idea where my next class was meant to be. I struggled massively with staying organized when I started work until I discovered David Allen. the main challenge now is making sure I’m not falling down a system optimization rabbit hole and spending all my time playing with my tools and setup.
