- Brain fog that won't lift
- Every decision feels impossible
- You're irritable for no reason
- Rest doesn't help
If this is you: stop, drink water, lie down 10 minutes. No p...

ADHD-friendly goal setting:
❌ "Clean the whole kitchen"
✅ "Put away 3 things from the counter"
❌ "Finish this project"
✅ "Open the file and write one sentence"
Break it until it's not scary anymore. Then break it again. #ADHD #productivity

The 2-minute reset when you're stuck and can't move:
1. Stand up (don't think, just do it)
2. Drink water — 3 sips minimum
3. Say out loud what you're avoiding
4. Set a timer for 5 minutes
5 minutes of the thing is better than zero. Always. #ADHD #mentalhealth

One dopamine menu item that changed my entire afternoon:
Listening to the same song on repeat for 45 minutes while organizing one drawer.
Not the whole room. One drawer. It's ridiculous AND it worked.
Your brain likes small wins. Give it one. #ADHD #dopamine

1. Write down everything ("brain dump")
2. Circle only the things that MUST happen today
3. Everything else moves to 'someday'
4. Start with the smallest circled item
That's it. No app. No system. Just less. ...

3 things nobody tells you about executive dysfunction (but should):
1. It's a dopamine issue, not laziness
2. Body doubling works — your brain mirrors another person's focus
3. Shrink the 'wall of awful' until tasks aren't scary
