deadass put it in another room and shut the door - if anyone really needs you they'll call. set a timer on anything else (i do it on the oven when I'm cleaning) then break up your tasks into smaller ones and write a checklist. being able to tick things off helps me see how much i've already done. then when the timer goes off either celebrate and finish or set another one and go again. the trick is small enough chunks of time that it's not overwhelming but still let's you get stuff done.

Not only carving out specific times for your tasks but also! ----- (!And this was a game changer for me!) ------ set a stopwatch each time you get distracted and stop it when you resume working - try to get that number smaller and smaller as you work throughout the day!

Got a tip that's been a game-changer for me: turn your boring to-do list into a badass mission list. Give each task a time limit, like 15 minutes tops. Need to tackle a budget? Set that timer and hustle hard for 15 minutes flat. Trust me, it's like adding turbo to your productivity, especially if you're dealing with ADHD. And guess what? This trick isn't just for work stuff. I use it for everything – from whipping up a grocery list to hunting down online services. It's the secret sauce to getting stuff done, no matter what you're up to.

Assigning yourself a single thing that needs to be done, or you’ve been wanting to do per day (big or small). Then letting yourself fuck off once you check the “complete“ box.

having a limited amount of choice and sizes makes it easier to play around with style and you find stuff you wouldn't otherwise - try everything on and go with mates so it's silly
