I got on by having modular work (university, software engineer with Jira tickets overseen by a PM) which is small enough to still be done last-minute, constant manufactured anxiety to get me to get things done, being excused for being young and foreign (for being rude). Shit Life Syndrome and maturity (expectation to be responsible) meant exacerbated ADHD symptoms and a diagnosis.
Look into the neurodiverse community, they have this figured out. A personal assistant and coaches are keywords which sound like what you are looking for. And accountability buddies and body doubling
David Lloyd in the UK is like Hotel California: "You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

the 12-month contract is actually 15 months
Impossible to get out of the contract unless a you have doctor's letter for injury or you move further than 20 miles from a branch. There's no point signing up on a contract either as they raise prices mid-contract.

I recently started playing padel. Much easier to start and more satisfying than tennis. It's a very sociable HIIT workout. Matches are organised on an app Playtomic and the court is only confirmed once all 4 players pay. I find it hard to play tennis as there is no Tinder-like match system for it. I've seen my skills improve from hand-eye coordination, reading trajectory and rebound.
I also tap dance. It's a very technical and movement-dense dance where different combinations of steps are put together and can be in different styles by varying the rhythm and body movements.
Sailing is my new passion. Dinghy mainly and also some yachting. Dinghy racing combines adventure, a thrilling workout (pulling the trailer and the core workout of hiking) and STEM split-second decisions in a race like computing a self-driving car. Also great for mental health and like a support group as through yachting I've met career changers who are running away from depression.
Mew is right. Jaw position actually fixes sleep apnea. The cause of sleep apnea is the airway collapsing when supine. Fix the cause not the symptom. Either surgery or expanders to allow the lower jaw to be forward.
This! Candybar phones have more secure grip and room for battery. The iPhone 4 while heavier is more comfortable to hold than the iPhone 6 / SE3 which I now use.
