Hi, so I’ve been wandering this all my life, but how do others get the energy to finish and do things?

My ADHD/Autistic brain has trouble getting the simplest of chores done, simply due to me not being able to start or continue past a mental block.

I’ve been taking meds for my depression, and it seems to have helped but… If anyone has some tricks they’ve used to get by, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for the help!

    I use my phone as the second half of my brain. Lots and lots of scheduled reminders. Which is not going to work for everyone, but it works for me.

    Honestly I (AuDHD) tend to leave things until the last possible minute and then panic-crunch to do the thing out of a fear of disappointing whoever the thing is for. The problem of course is if the thing doesn’t have a hard deadline or person who needs it done then I can put it off indefinitely.
