Accountability and staying disciplined with ADHD

...See more Hi all! I wanted to ask you if you have any tricks for accountability for when you need to stay disciplined, for example if you need to consistently work towards a deadline. For a little context, I am 30 and finally finishing my Master's thesis (which took a LOT of time!), and I need to be working consistently everyday because I will need to write a lot, but I'm 4 months in now and the novelty effect is disappearing for me and I'm finding it really hard to keep going. One thing that really helped me in the past was having daily check-ins at my old workplace, where we would meet as a team and update each other on our progress. Therefore, I wanted to ask those of you who might have a bit more experience if you would have any tips for me. I tried writing journals, gamifying my progress, "rewarding" myself with distractions or other treats but it all feels fake unless I have external accountability, or leads me to feeling guilty when I can't "perform" well on some days. I'm open for any suggestions!
