If I can’t bring myself to get around to an important task, such as filing a tax thing or making a doctor’s appointment, I invoke my nuclear option: I give my best friend three hundred dollars in cash and tell her to spend it if I don’t prove to her that I’ve done the thing by a certain date and time.

Anyone try this? Sounds fruitful.

        Why do you think this would work? Who said this works? It sounds like a good way for your friend to make money.

        You aren’t forgetting things because you are losing money. That is not how ADHD works. If consequences made you remember you wouldn’t be forgetting in the first place.
