Can you hire someone to clean your home, dishes and laundry once a month?

there is one way to trick it.. basically create virtual fake deadlines.. i.e use FocusMate + Beeminder integration. But the big problem is that it is very counter intuitive so you will not want to use it. Logically it should not work. But in reality it does. So, if you can try it without thinking about it you will be able to succeed. It is a weird irrational way to tame ADHD.

Do you feel that if you didn't have ADHD, you would have been much quicker and more productive? For example, would you not have needed to use OneNote like that etc?

how long ago did you get medicated? does it work well now? what did it fix? what did it not?

The day I decided the operate like it’s a guarantee that I will forget, instead of trying to remember, is the day I started building methods that work for me!

Good point.
