It sounds like we have similar long term plans! For what it’s worth, I’ve heard that homesteading can be great for folks with ADHD, since there are such a wide variety of ways to approach it and tasks that need doing, that it sates our need for novelty to stay engaged with things.

That tracks. I lived way out on a pseudo-farmstead as a teen and that’s when I stopped taking meds. I was on them from 5-12 and then started cheeking them and stuff.. parents didn’t notice until they found my stash, and went “well, we didn’t notice, and you seem fine, so what do you want to do?” And I was off them until 32. I have a year stash of them now because I still don’t take them consistently, but have them for big jobs. They don’t give me motivation, so they don’t really help.

I’ve also read that natural environments alone are enough to sooth a lot of said symptoms. Nature has a lot of sights, sounds, smells, and other sensations, so the body is fully stimulated, but not in an artificial, grating or irritating sort of way. Like I can stand the sound of wind, but a white noise generator, not so much.
