I try to keep my shoes (tennis shoes, work shoes) on. Like taking off your makeup/ bra at the end of the day. Shoes are the same... once they're off, it's over. If a have a task that I know has to get done, and I can't seem to tear myself away from my phone/laptop, I will put on my shoes. Tells my body that it's time to do thing things...
I literally have to leave the room or leave the house. Just do something else. It usually helps kick start your system. The absolute hardest part about doing anything with ADHD is starting. Give yourself intervals of time to do a task instead of leaving it so open-ended because then it seems like it could go on FOREVER 💀
I definitely try to schedule my phone time like reward time. Attempting to do time limits. I'm not great at it yet. But this app is helpful me alot in general and I'm enjoying feeling more productive without as much overwhelm or guilt produced motivation! Makes me less likely to want to escape so long
