I have a weird #ADHD lifehack that has been so effective that it's a little embarrassing, so I feel like I need to share it.
I suffer from ADHD paralysis <https://add.org/adhd-paralysis/>;, which is sometimes so severe that I sit doing nothing, nearly catatonically, with spiraling thoughts, for minutes or even hours. After I learned that this is probably the result of under-stimulation of task-initiation neural pathways, the "start doing literally anything" part of the brain, I devised a strategy.
