Highly recommend watching Russle Barkley's videos about ADHD. A solution that works wonders for me, after watching Barkley and inspired by "Pact of Punishment" in the game Hades, is to set a penalty for myself. E.g. for everyday that I don't do a leetcode problem I will pay my partner 50 bucks. Thats a painful enough amount for me. I must add that this doesn't work for things in future, meaning in 3 months if I don't lose 5lbs I will pay 200 dollars; ADHD brain does not understand time well. Instead it should be planned out and executed in short time periods, daily or shorter. For instance: for every meal that I overindulge I will pay X. For everyday I don't go for a walk I will pay. This requires integrity and a partner who likes their money ;)

That's a great trick. How much money have you actually paid doing this so far I'm curious though?

Reportedly, 400 dollars so far. But also made significant progress, my life is shaken up.
