Are there any players here with ADHD that might have some advice on how to get in a habit to practice and anything else that becomes harder than it has to be when you have ADHD? And maybe some good places/videos to follow along with?

I 100% agree too. Reduce start up friction. You should allot physical space for the person you want to be. You want to sleep and practice hygiene so you allocate physical space for their paraphernalia, beds, bathroom and such. If you want to see yourself as a guitar player then you should allocate a designated area for it. It took my brain a while to shift from the mind set of my academic years where I would shy away from my interests because I needed to focus. If I could go back I might would go about it differently. There is something to be said for leaning into distractions. Being flippant and quick to change projects can be a boon if you cultivate your projects and space. Constantly let yourself be pulled between all these interests in your space. Don’t feel guilty about putting something down for awhile. This will lead you to actually not finishing things. Embrace it. Make your incomplete projects look aesthetic by organizing their spaces so that you can return to it easily and/or it looks somewhat presentable and leave it out. Let people ask about it. You can have unfinished projects out without being unclean. Rethink what a decoration is in your space. And if something does tend to fall to the wayside get rid of it.
