monkeybarb, I also took a small dose of ritalin about 5:30 pm and it helped me with alertness through the evening, but i have a sleep disorder so not sure how it affects the quality of sleep. I slept better, but my pattern is to wake up spontaneously hundreds of times during the night, so maybe it was just a recovery night from a previously bad night. Hard for me to tell without lab studies.

I was reading another forum, and here’s a podcast by an ADD coach, talking about project overwhelm. If you can get through the first few minutes where the two speakers pat themselves on the back about how wonderful they are, there might be a few useful tidbits. For one, she says tackle a small project first, a small room. Don’t go for the big stuff. Get a little accomplishment under your belt. I didn’t listen to the whole thing, I rarely do, but I often pick up something useful. Here’s the link http://www.blogtalkradio.com/add-adhd-coaching/2012/01/10/project-overwhelm-and-add-adhd
