Exactly this. No matter what your imagined and real futures turn out to be, the good ones all require effort and investment in the present. You can’t go wrong with making investments in your life now.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. - Chinese Proverb
And if you've been trying to plant the same tree for 20 years, the second best time to treat your ADHD is now.
Technically I think the second best time would be 20 years ago less one Planck time. Which is to say, now would be the 11,700,454,120,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th best time. :)
