Hello @ChrissyC! Nope, completely unmedicated. I've thought about getting medicated for it but I told myself I would exhaust other options first.
Report for 3/7/2022
Today was a "meh" in terms of productivity. It started off excellent by me waking up early and tidying up my room before heading out for school. We had a group assignment to work on and another group mate and I were tasked with doing a bit of research on an article and writing up some implications for it. I was SUPER distracted today. Everyone was more talkative especially since this is the week before spring break here in the southern USA and it definitely effected me. On the plus side, thanks to MLS I was able to quickly rationalize and integrate the research article I read into my portion of the paper. Noise-cancelling headphones helped here as well because without them or MLS I probably would have just talked the entire time and did nothing. I drunk some coffee early in the morning and I believe the extra energy definitely made me more talkative and distractible.
My days with MLS are normally more productive but today I kept getting of track. Throughout the day I noticed that my energy levels and ability to concentrate would wane and I strongly believe the early start and the caffeine crash helped contribute. In blunt terms, I got more done than I would have pre-MLS but by my new standards today was definitely less productive. One important point though is that when I did focus and study I was still able to learn much quicker and get through tasks more quickly than pre-MLS. There were cases where I could feel the old me creeping back in but a quick 2.5 minute loop of MLS kept it at bay.
I've been feeling resistance creep in so I'm going to do 8 loops of MLS instead of 6. I've learned to listen to my gut more when it comes to MLS. If I feel the ADHD symptoms returning I run extra loops through the night and throw in more short loops during the day.
