⚡ ADHD Dopamine Hacks That Actually Work (Without Burning You Out)
Most productivity advice doesn’t stick for ADHD brains—not because we’re lazy, but because we run on a different kind of fuel. That fuel is dopamine. And when it’s low, focus, motivation, and even basic task initiation can feel nearly impossible.
That’s where ADHD Dopamine Hacks come in. These aren’t gimmicks or overly complicated systems. They’re simple, fast-acting tools that help jumpstart your brain when it’s stuck in park. Whether it’s micro-rewards, built-in novelty, body doubling, or environmental nudges, the right hack at the right moment can be the difference between spiraling and starting.
This cheat sheet is designed to be quick-reference and low-pressure—something you can glance at when you’re stuck in the scroll or staring blankly at your to-do list. Don’t overthink it. Pick one, try it, and if it doesn’t spark anything, move on to the next.
