Wish I had an answer, sending love though!

Routine tbh. Sometimes there's no motivation to see within miles of my brain, so I have to rely on just trying to get through my to-do list.

Lists, planners, calendars, and spite

Always wanting to be better

Caffeine, and trying to be like people I see doing what they seem to do normally. I do end up feeling like I'm faking it but I get things done sometimes

it may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s amazing how much having something that depends on you can motivate you. Whether that’s a pet, family/friends, or even plants. If you know that your dog can’t get food by itself, needing to give it food is a good motivator to get out of bed and start the day. Once you’re already up, sometimes you can channel that motivation into other things as well. If you’re not ready/able to handle pets (or simply don’t want them), a little windowsill plant or something can give you the same sense of caring for something with much less risk if it goes wrong :))

Keeping a planner and indulging in my special interests. Also reminders and apps to help me be organized.

Got put down and discouraged when I would write on my hand and arm...but like lists are only so good till I lose it or forget to use it. Same for planners, it's out of sight and out of mind. Apps/reminders/alarms also don't work because my I'd makes me clear notifications constantly and once it's cleared its like I forget it exists. Have to do everything as a time limited deadline to even get it done in time. I don't know how to stay organised when the systems don't work for me. Check ins or people reminding me sends me into an anxiety attack though.
