    I think it is probably a good idea medically speaking but you likely know that. I’ve got that down as part of my routine. But perhaps it would help to write a sticky note and stick it to something you need as part of your morning activities already. Of course you need to remember to do both things then and if you’re anything like me you’ll forget (what) to write (on) the sticky note.

      I talked to my dentist about it years ago, and he said it’s not ideal, but flossing and brushing once is better than just brushing twice, and I should make sure to do it at night. I don’t as a matter of course brush my teeth once a day, that was just third on the list. Much more commonly, I forget to wash my face and I eat breakfast about every other day, which is probably more detrimental to my health.

      I don’t really need that advice though. I was just identifying with the meme and I honestly take umbrage at the fact that someone comes to the adhd subreddit and suggests “just do it” when someone’s not asking for advice. It’s not helpful nor is it constructive, and they immediately started shaming me and others about it.

        Breakfast actually isn’t that necessary as a meal, if you’re not hungry or you don’t feel the urge it’s okay to not eat and hold out for lunch with just water. When I eat breakfast it just makes me want to snack more throughout the day.
