working out early in the morning: sara!!! my hack is that i go to a hiit workout out early (6am / 7am) monday, weds, fridays. it gets me in my chair by 830am with a lot of steady focus and energy. by the time its 1pm, i've done a lot of work and can enjoy the summer afternoon :)

typically my days are broken into three parts: body, mind, spirit. the order can be swapped around depending on the vibe

body (a long walk, workout, golf, surfing, rock climbing, sleep), mind (writing, reading, whatever is on the docket), spirit (seeing friends, movies, dancing, staying in, whatever is calling)

this is for weeks im not on set ofc

Going to the Library: My ADHD brain will get distracted by almost anything. But if I need to focus then I want to be in a space where I am reminded that I'm in "work mode." In the summer it's especially important to be in a well air conditioned space. Can't be productive if you're physically uncomfortable or miserable.

I usually split my time either in a library (because it's quiet) or a cafe (for food and beverages).
