Example: I take medication and lately caffeine helps with my ADHD so lately every morning I’ve been drinking coffee and tea.

I used to drink sodas but the sugar doesn’t help, so I had to cut back on the sodas I used to drink.

I've started taking magnesium and potassium supplements. Try to get enough sleep. Take a step back and don't rush yourself because you assume something is urgent which may not be. Flip side, there is no later, do whatever now before you forget.
