I'm rediscovering the use of a blue SAD light for productive works/study time.

Also Newton's cradle is good for setting a beat

I have ADHD, and if I really need to complete something I've been putting off for a long time, I will set a timer with barely enough time to finish it.

I have this nagging task on the computer? 5 mins, no excuses. Gotta cook real bad so I'm not eating junk food for like a week straight? Easy, quick recipe, 30 mins.

It works really well, but be warned not to use it very frequently. It can burn you out if overused.
