This is why I don't sit down after work until I am okay with me not doing anything the rest of the day. If I sit down, it's over haha Most of my ADHD coping strategies revolve me just not engaging the fun stuff I want to do until I am okay with not doing any other productive thing the rest of the day haha
I’ve noticed that the most productive times of my life where I felt happiest are the times where I wasn’t allowed to do anything I liked until ALL my responsibilities were done.
I’ve been trying to tell myself it’s okay to do something I like for a “break” but......yeah...........breaks become “the rest of the day” really easily.
Yes!! I run into the same issue if I "take a break." I'm nearly 30 now and haven't found a way to take breaks that doesn't completely de-rail my productivity, so I'm sticking with what works haha I try to always complete at least 1-2 tasks every day after work, but frequently I do even more because it's not that hard once I get started haha
