Anyone got any ideas for giving myself more energy?
I'm like a freaking zombie by the time work's finished and I'd love to get on with creative things and actually be awake enough to snuggle my partner (who's currently on summer hols *harumph*) before bed.
Ps. I'm already a caffeine machine with adhd so caffeine's not gonna help.
@Fionawesome @alice this is common and often unsolicited advice, but regular exercise helps me. Especially running.
Also, maybe try scheduling your breaks and planning what you'll do once they're over, so you at least plan your nap/veg out time rather than just giving up when you're out of energy.
@Fionawesome my low energy and executive dysfunction are a tag team. Too sleepy to improvise, and can't just shut off my brain and let my hands do the chores. But if I think, "okay, I'll get up at 6, dump out the hamper and put the white clothes in the laundry bag" even on crappy days, I can at least get something done. I guess it's less hard to break all art down like that that, but you could do, "I'll open my sketchbook and arrange these markers next to it and follow my muse."
