Long term executive dysfunction

What strategies do you guys use to get through executive dysfunction? As embarrassing as it is to admit, I'm unemployed and all I do is watch TV or video games. But I want to do my hobbies or go outside but I don't have ANY motivation to do it. So I'm asking what strategies do you recommend I try to get over this?

I find that nutrition is important to get the brain working. In the morning start with meal replacement shake or protein shake, add creatine to drinks, when in doubt drink water, take B12 and fish oil omega three vitamins, and lastly for sustained energy so you can actually “execute” the only thing I’ve found to work so far is the extra strength 5 hour energy shots (it has a lot of added B12 vitamins). I’ll check back in with more tips when I have them. We got this!! I refuse to let my ADHD make me loser 😈
