Agree wholeheartedly with everything here. I exercise first thing every morning before my family gets up, and after some pain with the process, it has become a second nature for me. It's an absolute must for my brain to start the day. Anytime I have the thought, "Do I REALLY want to do this today?" I always follow it up with "Have you ever regretted your exercise after you've finished?" and the answer is always no. Great motivation for the ADHD brain.
Sounds like you've really hit the nail on the head...but...then give us a long intense read to untangle it. In addition, linked to more energy-draining evidence-based research articles. Again, sounds great, but I was exhausted 25% in....
Fair point. There's some irony in writing a long, research-heavy piece for people whose brains struggle with long, research-heavy pieces. The strategies section is designed so you can skip straight to it if the science part is draining you. But we hear you, and it's something we think about with every issue. Thanks for the comment

I have found working on a crossword puzzle while I drink my first cup of coffee in the morning helps me get going.
