weirdest thing you've ever done to get past executive dysfunction?

Discussion

what are the weirdest ways you've tried to get past your executive dysfunction and dupe your brain into kickstarting productivity?

in summer my bed rotting & dysfunction was so bad that i intentionally got myself addicted to nicotine so i would have to get up and go outside multiple times every day to smoke. this is not a life hack because ultimately the adhd won & i would procrastinate going outside for a smoke break so much that it broke the addiction.
