Thank you for your input, gang! :)

Okay, to summarize, here are the list of things that might help when you are unable to get medicated or therapy:

1. Supplements: Omega-3, Zinc, Lithium (has severe side effects, but it works) 2. Mindfulness: Meditation/Yoga 3. Routines (according to HN answers)

Here is the list of things that I personally (!) think that might help:

4. Digital organization: Johnny File System, PARA Method

Here is the list of things I am personally (!) unsure about:

5. Offline organization/planning: Bullet Journaling 6. General organization: minimalism? Decluttering?

The list of things that need also attention:

7. Social skills & interpreting social cues correctly 8. Interpersonal skills & soft skills (manners?) 9. Effective "crutches" for things like impulsivity

Some more ideas that might help or not - these are rather experimental:

10. Fasting (for mood improvement?): https://www.hal.inserm.fr/file/index/docid/789122/filename/F...

And remember: use your own brain first don't trust anyone so easily! :) (Except your therapist/doctor, if you have access to one.)

Final note: we need a Scott Meyers type of book for "Effective ADHD".
