For this reason I’m trying to book appointments and run errands in the morning in order to be productive the rest of the day.
I’ve found this solution as well. Unfortunately that just ends in my being mentally exhausted at 1pm and angry at myself for not getting anything else done.
This is why I like working early in the morning. I can roll out of bed and start my day as soon as my feet hit the ground if there’s no down time. On my days off, the things that don’t need doing immediately likely won’t be considered before 10am despite getting up at 5.
This was the only way I could get essays done when studying, get out of bed at 5 and start immediately - nothing to distract. Now I have children I have to get up at 5 every morning so I can never study again 😭
Same with waiting for a package to be delivered to my door. It says it will come between 12 and 14 but I still feel restless from morning until I hear the door bell and I won’t leave home or do anything that I can’t cast aside right away
My package deliveries usually say something crazy like ‘between 9 and 16’ and… There goes the day.
This is an ADHD thing? Oh, I guess I learnt something about myself :(
It might also be an autism thing. I don’t have ADHD and I do this. I have to make my appointments as early as possible or my whole day is gone to freaking out about having to go out, whatever the appointment is about, etc.
huh, i honestly didn’t know this was an ADHD issue.
