  • Before i even knew i had it, caffeine. One cup of coffee and maybe a soda per day. No more or otherwise it’d make me tired. Its no replacement for meds but other things helped too like keeping notes, getting enough sleep, excerising, and one of the things i still do today, taking the frustration out of daily tasks.

    If something bugs you a lot or stops you from being productive, find a way to make it easier or at least less annoying. Problem solve. Its one of my biggest drivers for dopamine hits and making your life easier by just getting rid of little annoyances makes it easier to function overall.

    All that said, like others mentioned, I didn’t function well before meds. Honestly i feel like i got off easy but its not really helpful to compare your situation to others.

    I hope anything from this post helps you out man.




  • Meds do help in my case. My issues was not procrastination so much as id procrastinate and then forget about it.

    Meds help me remember to do things and stay more organized but they don’t make it super easy, just easier. I think the biggest thing is they make me feel awake. Before meds, i always felt like i was tired. Probably because my brain was always in overdrive.

    Feeling awake helps motivate me to get stuff done.

    I’m using amphetamine salts or generic adderall



  • My advice is start slow and dont hurt yourself in the name of fitness. Its better to take a day off if your legs really hurt so that your body has time to heal rather than “work through the pain”.

    And eat enough to fuel the new cardio. Doesnt do you much good if you arent giving your body enough to work with. If your trying to lose weight, slight calorie deficit of about 200 calories is typically recommended.

    And listen to some music that pumps you up! Always made me love running. Good luck! You got this :)

    I work at a small company where I wear a lot of hats.

    I audit chats, supervise a team of agents, answer billing and sales tickets as well as the phone for sales.

    When theres downtime i also work on spreadsheets which we use to track agent performance and make tools to help us work. Thats probably the msot fun part. Its a good job.

    Pay is way under what we should be getting but i like the company and they treat me well. Plus wfh so cant complain too much.
