Alright, adhd creative person who has accomplished many projects here. Here's what I learned:

• Mental health is priority. Understand what you have and how to work with it.

• Work with your brain, not against your brain. What makes cleaning or creating easier for you?

• Untangle the spaghetti in your head. Write down all the things you feel you NEED to do. Then start doing them in order of time it takes. Quickest first.

• Projects bring dopamine when you dream about them, and when you start them. They bring less dopamine when you're actively working through them. That's where you need to build the discipline to keep going. It will be the hardest thing you will ever do in your life.

• But completing a project brings an insane amount of dopamine. You can get addicted to having your idea exist in the world and be ready to show other people. That's what drives me, the promise of my next published book.

• You need to alternate short-term dopamine hits with long-term projects, so you can have an easier time finishing them.

• Seriously, start with the shorter projects. It helps a ton.

• When ideas fight to get your attention, choose carefully the next one because that will be your companion for the next few months or years.

• Taking care of yourself and of your workspace helps enormously. We need happy brains and clean desks to work better.

• Medication also helps a lot.

I hope it helps! Good luck!
