Another thing that helps me is to be very specific - beyond the point of arbitrariness - in defining dailies and habits (I should probably do it for tasks too, but I don't). So I don't just "go for a morning walk," I walk around the block once, clockwise, immediately after getting dressed. In the evening I walk counterclockwise. I brush my teeth in the same direction as I walked.

I'm not totally sure this is an ADD thing, but for me it really reduces friction because there's less thinking and decision-making (I'm only thinking about DOING IT, not how to do it). It also makes it more gamelike because of the extremely clear goal and arbitrary rules.

I got the idea from reading about Aspergers. Apparently some people just naturally and automatically create detailed routines like this. Very counterintuitive for me, but once I got the hang of it it works surprisingly well, and is indeed soothing.
