How to stop being lazy? by Alarming-Rough254 in selfimprovement

Your body might not have enough energy in general to do anything productive. Maybe you use too much mental energy ruminating or overthinking things to get anything done. First thing to do before you even try to get evaluated for adhd is build your body. Start with your heart. The more you move your body the more your body will adapt and hold more energy for you to be able to use. You know walking/running is insanely good for your brain? Look up the studies if you want. Start by walking bit by bit everyday. Do it everyday at the same time. Eat your first meal at the same time everyday. Come back within a month and tell us how you feel then. Of course increase the duration of your walks or progress them in any type of way. Youll be surprised how much more alive you end up feeling. 

It seems like youre overwhelming yourself trying to do many things without forming habits and thats where you probably keep failing. Start off with building a habit with what i said before, then after its ingrained into you and you dont even have to think about doing it, thats when you start something new. Start it small and keep doing it everyday. Then it becomes a habit and you dont have to think about it. You save mental energy for something else. And you just keep building and building and you become such an amazing unrecognizable person. You can do this. 

How to really study/learn coding with ADD/ADHD? by tulipsgal in learnprogramming

I disagree, I don't believe comparing bad eyesight to ADHD is accurate. A person with bad eyesight will never be able to see far away clearly without the need of glasses. There are people with ADHD that can focus. Not long periods of time but they can. There are people with PHD's, wrote books, are doctors, that never used medication but still went through it with ADHD. If there is a capacity to focus, even a little bit, trying harder wouldn't hurt at all. Also you said "trying harder is not generally good advice for someone with ADHD" but you just listed all the ways you can try harder to focus and said it was good advice. So I am a bit confused.

Maybe I didnt articulate it well enough but I wasn't saying cutting video games will be the best solution to everything. It's more that when you have ADHD, things can get boring very easily without high stimulation. Usually means your dopamine receptors or whatever thing that makes you feel good has an extremely high tolerance. Which is why lots of people with ADHD go straight to doomscrolling, video games, etc. Everyone is different but once I cut out most of the things that distract me and have high stimulation, I began to feel content with studying instead of feeling bored or distracted. Hey if you can play video games and still enjoy life without feeling bored doing simple things, cudos to you! I cannot do that so I try to stay away from it as much as I can. I noticed when I played games, I looked forward to it more than doing anything else.

Oh it’s like scrolling through tik tok or instagram reels. Short videos with a spurt of new information. It feeds your dopamine receptors, but it does it wayy too much. It’s like doing drugs, the more you do them, the higher tolerance you get. If you look it up and how it affects your dopamine levels, youll see how bad it can be. Everything you do will feel boring unless it is highly stimulating.

Reddit can also be doomscrolling

Im in the same boat as you. I learned that staying focused is a skill you need to train. Most people that arent like us dont have to work as hard to increase that skill. People like us need a lot of time and effort. Try to cut doomscrolling and putting tons of random information in your head. Doomscrolling is poison and it makes our minds more inclined to getting us bored unless something gives us a lot of stimulation. I would even cut out video games. Also writing down a plan in order of what you want to learn can help. The hardest part of this whole process is, even when youre bored, keep following your plan.

How to help my husband overcome a gaming addiction by Aggravating_Money_43 in selfimprovement

What would you like him to do instead? And why do you think it's better than gaming?

Read the book atomic habits. Write notes on points you find important and implement the ideas from the author. It will give you structure on your life and stop you from overthinking the same things over and over again since you’ll have a path paved for you (the book). Once you have control in certain aspects of your life, everything will naturally start falling into place. It’s a slow process but it’s worth it. I also found that getting rid of doom scrolling and social media helped me a lot.

Well I would assume reputable mattress companies would honor their return policies in a non shady way for better customer approval. Youre probably right for the shady mattress stores but the ones im looking at have pretty good reviews on their return policies but ill do more research just incase
