With ADHD, a single HN post could have me following source material and child nodes up to 5-6 layers deep.

Once the time-blindness wears off, the anxiety sets in you realize hours have passed and outstanding work is due soon.

What sort of worked:

- Blocking web sites during work hours (SelfControl for MacOS and NextDNS for devices)

What did work:

- Consistent sleep schedule (10PM)

- Mindfulness meditation in the morning

- Getting physically active in the morning

- Working in a different environment

What helped on top of that:

- Getting prescribed for ADHD medication

- Professional counseling from a therapist

- Dealing with what’s causing your anxiety (or depression)

That basically describes my schedule and my habits.

One important thing to add to that: an online diet. I have The Guardian, Reddit, and a ton of other distracting content blocked on all devices (hosts files, NextDNS, etc).

> Working in a different environment

By this, do you mean working in a different physical environment from where you relax? Or continuously changing your work environment? Or something else?

semi-public spaces where you aren't isolated, like co-working offices.

if that's not feasible, a service like FocusMate in your home office.

this is a solid framework for coping/lifestyle modifications for ADHD.

I'll add nutrition to the list.

And for me personally: time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting (water fasts were not good for me, but time-restricted eating/staying in a 'fasted state' is)
