Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
Meds - the baseline, the scaffolding.
Sleep - up there or higher than meds maybe. Seriously, if you want to throw money at something, do it here.
Meditation - it trains your focus, gotta be the "shamatha" kind, i.e focusing on a single point of your body, say the tip of your nose as you breathe, and upon losing focus and thinking of something else returning to that anchor point.
App blocker - really important. No distractions/limit short form content
Diet - also really important, low carbs, healthy diet. Lots of fiber. Minimize glucose spikes.
Sunlight
Exercise - aids sleep, boosts cognition
I believe these to be the main ones. The thing is that it all loops back to impulsivity (your brain constantly churning ideas and following them), which realistically, in my experience, is mostly affected by meds, sleep, exercise (as you do it), and maybe over the long run, via meditation. I do believe the first two are the basis to everything.
