I usually just ignore societal rules and only do activities that I want or need to do.

    I just used this trick to render an X at any position; I just start to work on the idea until I got bored; but I managed to complete that idea before I got bored!

    I didn’t realize that I didn’t have to complete an idea, until you said something about it.

      That’s great news. I’m glad I could help. I find that when you roll with your ADHD instead of against it, for certain problems like this, you can often find some peace and flow. Let yourself wander, and don’t feel like your personal projects are obligations in some way; they’re yours, so they can just be yours… unfinished or finished, good or bad.

        I agree. I don’t get why so many people with ADHD are trying to work against ADHD.

          In my experience, I have only ever worked against my ADHD for the sake of relationships that I consider more important than my comfort/sanity. And I’d do it the same way, if I had to do it again. But it’s not easy, and it’s not ideal.

            i don’t usually try to work against my ADHD unless if the risk is worse than the discomfort.
