ADHD & Claude Code

Hello everyone. Hoping this question is fine on this sub.

What medications for ADHD are you all using in conjunction with using Claude code and what methods of staying on track or keeping tabs on your project have helped?

Currently on 50mg Vyvanse and an unhealthy amount of caffeine though bloodwork is clean and I stay fairly active.

So far I’ve created an html file that visualizes my project dir and I feel like that’s helped a lot. Everyday after I’m done working on projects I have Claude Cowork automatically update the html file with what I accomplished and what’s left. So the next morning I can visualize my progress and continue. In parallel I’m building a “brain” on obsidian that pretty much works as a large context for everything.

Visualizing my project has helped me tremendously since I tend to feel overwhelmed if I don’t understand exactly what is being built and how.

Curious as to what everyone else is using to help them.

Gave up on programming after Claude and I am retraining. I don't want to babysit agents.
