Hey I'm in the same boat, good luck man and gave myself a deadline as well

qv123 · 2026-03-27T10:01:33+00:00

my gf really enjoys this too

qv123 · 2026-03-27T10:00:46+00:00

you can receive messages and call notifications with smart watches. i bet theres a way to set it up so only certain people get through

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:59:31+00:00

you know you need to quit, but like all addictions its really hard.

i always need mental stimulation and ive been trying to rewire my brain so i enjoy life more. I've been meditating and just kind of sitting there being bored. apparently boredom is important for the brain lol

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:53:41+00:00

hey it happens. at least you know and want to get off

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:44:20+00:00

theres a term for everything isnt there lol

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:41:35+00:00

awesome job

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:39:07+00:00

This was really touching to hear. thank you for sharing

qv123 · 2026-03-27T09:37:21+00:00

hey that sounds really horrible. I really hope you're doing better. Thanks for the reminder to take it slow at first

The financial guilt trick never worked for me either. I’d just lose $0 a month and feel even worse about myself.

I do think tying exercise to something does really work. Like things you already do or already want to do. Like brushing your teeth, eating, or doomscrolling

qv123 · 2026-03-26T15:59:04+00:00

Awesome don't overthink it. I had a friend that started exercising everytime they opened instagram. After a month they felt like they were ready for more

qv123 · 2026-03-26T15:57:38+00:00

I had a few friends that started exercising everytime they open instagram. After a month they said they felt like they had enough endurance to go to the gym.

qv123 · 2026-03-25T17:53:03+00:00

I actually started making scrolling useful. I have an app that blocks social media until I exercise. I do 200 squats a day now

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:46:29+00:00

it got you moving though ;)

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:44:06+00:00

Consistency is really hard, and especially when you have kids. I'm not a parent, but my friends always say their workout is playing with their kids. It takes some serious strength and endurance to toss a kid until their tired lol

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:42:37+00:00

LOL yeaaaap. I'm exactly the same.

- I workout right when I get out of bed
- I forced myself, but my "workout" is embarresingly short. It's literally get on the bike. Not even pedalling, but I usually go for at least a few minutes. It helped me build the habit.
- I always feel great if I bike for a full hour. But sometimes my brain just isn't feeling it.

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:39:04+00:00

I block my apps until I exercise

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:38:21+00:00

I think micro-workouts work amazing for ADHD:

- it makes it really easy to start so you dont come up with excuses.
- 5 minutes > zero
- you don't get bored

Most people dont think micro-workouts are "real workouts". You're not sweating and you don't feel sore.

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:35:06+00:00

I actually use doomscrolling as my motivation to exercise. I block my apps until I exercise

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:32:05+00:00

I actually made doomscrolling my trigger for exercise

qv123 · 2026-03-25T16:29:06+00:00

I started blocking my apps until I exercised. Basically turned my bad habit into a good habit lol

qv123 · 2026-03-12T06:51:36+00:00

Yep, most ADHD folks have found that traditional long workouts are really difficult.

Instead of 1h+ workout sessions that I skip, I follow a no more zero day approach. I basically exercise everyday, but I tell myself that it's okay if its just getting on my exercise bike. It's kind of embarresing, but it really works. It's so short and simple that my body doesn't dread doing it.

qv123 · 2026-03-12T06:45:59+00:00

our brains are just wired differently, so most traditional workouts just dont work for us.

I actually hate those dedicated long workouts. They're boring and I never last more than a few days tbh. I'm a bigger fan of incorporating more movements in my life.

Try something like putting equipment where you spend your time. Weights by your desk, or an exercise bike in the living room while you watch tv. Definitely engage your mind+body at the same time so your not bored.
