Thanks for sharing your experience, and glad that coaching has given you some strategies that work for you!
When you say book of tricks and triggers, do you mean a physical book? Curious how other folks hold on to their learnings etc.!
The problems/tactics I have written down in my notebook. The triggers are just repetition with lots of failures. Its like chaining the behavior of walking into a conference room to checking my calendar for my next thing. Or when I feel overwhelmed I check the section on prioritizing, scheduling, delegating, and dropping tasks.
Smartphones and smart watches are your friend. Noise canceling headphones come in a close second. You need to remember while unmedicated to take your medicine so an obnoxious, hard to ignore medical alarm is a good tool.
