adhd havers out there: can you give me advice on how to better incorporate easier task switching into my life?

right now if i'm fixated on getting a thing done i'll keep working on it well beyond the point that i'm even happy about it anymore. this can also come at the cost of taking care of my body - eating and sleeping in particular. this probably contributed towards my burnout from work years ago

@eri oof, that's a struggle I understand all too well and has hobbled me at work many times.

Some things for me:
1) plan ramp down and ramp up times between tasks, basically budgeting buffer time into my schedule

2) build handholds into the "wall of awful": basically using things like music/etc to change the emotional tenor connected to a thing and help me climb over the friction. Idea comes from "How to ADHD"

3) Exercise or physical activity. I know it's cringe but it genuinely does help with executive function. I'm terrible at making this consistent, but I know it helps me.
