Happy New Year ADHDers!

As promised, here are the results of our scientifically rigorous poll about which things are the worst for taking over your dopamine system:

  1. Scrolling
  2. Someone is wrong on the Internet
  3. Phone notifications
  4. Video games
  5. Maladaptive daydreaming
  6. Unfinished projects that should be quick to finish
  7. Sleep-deprivation-induced mania
  8. Alcohol
  9. Reading internet to drown out own thoughts
  10. Expensive hobbies

Yeah, in my personal life it's not a problem but I gotta do it during work hours. The problem I have is getting a notification and then next thing I know it's two hours later and I'm still off-task.
