    ADHD drugs plus ADHD means that I am bad about eating when I start to focus. When it’s really necessary, I prefer it because food slows me down, but for normal days it’s not ideal.

      I try to look at my work from a peak performance viewpoint. When I start making mistakes or getting sloppy is when I pause and take stock. I know Im running low on something cuz =output; be that food, water, meds, sleep, moving, coffee, nofx, w/e. Sometimes I just need to switch up projects.

      If I’m home I tend to work on something til frustration, completion or a save point. To change gears I’ll do something physical (right now I’m hand tilling the 500ft² garden) that preferably works towards a larger goal. Most yard work I do like this, as a form of walking meditation. Shaking the etch-a-sketch both mentally and physically.

      Just some tips, take em or leave em, you do you boo.

        I would love to hand till a giant garden! I bet that’s perfect- raking leaves has always been the best study break for me.

        For better or worse, when I start to make mistakes, that breaks my flow and I automatically take a break. Luckily, I do drink a lot of water, so I eventually have to take a break to refill the bottle, which sometimes even reminds me to pee lol
