@Saffron I have found it difficult to deal with the “time-managed” activities you mentioned. I do find myself often passing on socializing. I would agree to do something with friends/family and then wind up cancelling at the last minute due to fatigue and lack of motivation.

I found the following article pretty interesting on Wikipedia that talks about how fatigue, lack of motivation and other symptoms that have been classified as SCT (Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) were part of the DSM-III diagnosis of ADD and are considered to be a sub-group of the current ADHD-PI diagnosis. I identify most with these symptoms on a daily basis and are the ones that are causing the most impairment for me at the moment. Here is the link if you guys are interested:
