I'm working on reestablishing mine. I've set an alarm for 5:45. I snooze it, cuddle my wife, and ten minutes later, when it goes off again, I get up. Every day. No exceptions. I immediately take my meds, and maybe play some games on the Switch with my headphones until about 7:00, at which point I take my dogs out, poop, make breakfast, and do something else. If it's the workweek, I sign into work at 7:30. If it's the weekend, I might empty the dishwasher, play some more video games, then take my dogs to the park at 9:00 because that's when everyone else shows up.

I'm also working on performing certain tasks at regular intervals. Wednesday and Sunday are for doing laundry. If I keep that up, it takes five minutes to hang and fold it all. I do try to empty the dishwasher each morning if I can. Saturday evening, before I shower, is for changing the cat litter. And Saturday morning is for prepping my breakfast for the week.

I'm really trying to get back into routines. And being medicated for my ADHD makes it feel so achievable. For the first time probably ever, it feels good to move my body and not be snacking all the time. It's wild, man.

damn, maybe I could set up a routine like that one day (my mirtazapine is making it a bit easier though)
