Most of the time, I think through impulsive thoughts before acting on them (an incredibly hard feat).

Before engaging in conversation, I take a deep breath and remind myself to slow down (much like calming oneself before delivering a speech).

I forcefully stop myself from excessive socializing that may come across as odd.

I write notes to keep track of my scattered thoughts.

If I’m sitting down working, I set an alarm every hour to do a body check to reduce fidgeting. I also go for a quick walk after every hour of work as a reward. This helps keep me focused. Otherwise, some days, I’d be bouncing off the walls.
