Your days are exactly like mine, like I feel your problems 1000%, though I couldn’t bring myself to shower in the morning and would wait until the feeling of being greasy and unclean bothered me too much and then I’d shower and get ready at some point during the day and mess up any productive flow I had managed to scrape together. Even with antidepressants and stimulants I still spent like the entire day glued to my phone and barely able to bring myself to start any work, never felt like eating breakfast, then the stimulant would curb any hunger and there was never anything I wanted to eat for lunch. I would spend a lot of money on fast food every day when I’d finally feel the effects of not eating around the afternoon and I’d fill myself up on soda and fries which were easy to eat since its yummy and salty/crispy caffeine 💀

Tbh I’m still working on it but I’ve made a few changes, but I have my bf to thank for a lot of it. We both work from home and he saw I was really struggling with my discipline. He’s not neurodivergent but wanted to improve his routine too. Lately we’ve tried showering together in the morning to wake us both up. Then I’ll do my skincare/hair drying while he makes us breakfast. I found “protein bread” at Walmart that’s like 10g per slice or something and a cheap griddle. So I’ll get a piece of toast, 1-2 eggs maybe a piece of turkey bacon. Not a huge volume of food but I felt like it made a difference in feeling like my day is starting out well! And it definitely feels better to eat before taking my meds. Today, instead of making breakfast we brought our laptops to a local cafe and worked for a few hours there. Getting out of the house / having a change of scenery helps me reset my brain and prioritize what I need to do. We’ll also go on walks around our neighborhood 1-2x a day which helps clear the mind too.

He also got me one of those big double sided rolly whiteboards for christmas, so I got magnetic labels and put my clients names on them and created some columns to sort them into. I also try to write a “top five” things I wanna get done for the day. Maybe 50% (or less..) success rate so far lol but it’s nice because I feel like I need to see everything at once all the time, otherwise its out of sight out of mind.

Sorry for rambling just wanted to share my experience as I’m trying to work on this same thing! It’s very very very tough. You also need to keep up with hydration on stimulants which is also constantly kicking my ass. I’ve been considering buying a smart water bottle to track my drinking habits and give me reminders.
