LPT: if you struggle with deciding what to do when you have some free time, use a spin wheel
As someone with unmedicated ADHD, I find that I often end up doomscrolling for hours when I finally have free time because I don’t have anything I \*have\* to do. I may briefly think of something I enjoy doing, but often find myself struggling to transition.
The thing that has helped me more than anything else is downloading a free generic spin wheel app (literally any of them as long as it lets you add your own custom choices). I made a wheel with a nice mix of common but quick productive items (like do the dishes) and fun stuff. Spinning the wheel helps me discover what I \*actually\* want to do when I feel lukewarm to everything, and it gives me that little bit of momentum I need to get started on something when I genuinely don’t want to do anything. Having a mix of fun and productive stuff also keeps it from feeling tedious (and thus ensures I actually use it).
