@intentional.anna: the tool that made it click for me is the Opal app (I have this linked in my bio as well). i set one of their timers (they’ve got a focus/pomodoro-style one), and here’s the part that actually matters: opal blocks my distracting apps for the whole block, so my phone can’t hijack me halfway through. a timer + zero temptation = i finally get through the thing. i start at 20 minutes and adjust to my energy — short and doable beats long and rigid every single time. you’re not giving yourself a punishment. you’re giving yourself structure, urgency and a finish line — the three things this brain runs on. 💬 what’s the one task you’d set a 20-minute timer for right now? save this for your next “i can’t get started” day. #adhdinwomen #adhdproductivity #neurodivergent #adhdtips #latediagnosedadhd
