I have a couple friends who have issues with making their food. Idk how many times I've been talking to one, they mention feeling like shit, and I asks aht the last thing they ate was and it's some shit like "I had a coffee yesterday around 2pm"

So now, since I love cooking but hate all the prep and cleanup, I have them buy the ingredients the day before I plan on coming over, then I spend the day making meals for the next week and a half. It all has to be able to heat in one container, preferably the container it's stored in to assist with ease of heating.

It's still a toss up, but now at least when they hit a wall they can grab a box out of the fridge instead of sitting paralyzed trying to figure out what to eat or deciding to just stay hungry

I also have to label the meals with binary choices. Things like "LUNCH MONDAY OR DINNER WEDNESDAY" so they have variety and an option for if they don't want a specific one right now. Otherwise it's "too many options" and instead of just grabbing whatever, they close the freezer/fridge.

This is what drugs are for. Try a mix of weed and LSD.

Genuinely not trying to be an asshole:

Set a daily timer on your phone just labelled 'PERISHABLE VEGETABLES IN FRIDGE' ... ?

Like, have it go off every day?

Or maybe label it 'Meal Prep Time'?

Set 'appointments' in your calendar for specific meals, a few times a week, with the actual instructions for making a meal?

Or, like, once upon a time, it used to just be fairly normal to set aside a few hours on the weekend (or some off work day) to do a significant amount of meal prep, store it for the week, then that stuff is either good to go, or just needs minimal additional work (quick flash in a toaster oven or what not) to make it good to go, day of.

I dunno, as best I can tell I don't have ADHD, but I did have major depression for a while, and part of what helped me out of that was just strictly regimenting myself, untill I didn't need the alarms anymore. I know ADHD ain't the same, but... might be useful/relevant?

The problem with daily reminders is that eventually you just get so used to the reminder that you tune it out completely and it stops mattering entirely.

They can work well for a lot of people but at least for me... after about a month theyre effectively not there anymore
