Overwhelmed doesn't even begin to accurately describe our lives! Fortunately, this list from professional organizer Judith Kolberg is designed specifically for people with ADHD and our unique challenges.
Stop trying to be an ordinary person who keeps it together in the same way that people without ADHD do. Support might mean another set of hands, someone to keep your morale up, or someone to function as a body double. A body double is somebody who is physically present as you do a task but doesn’t do the task with you. Your body double anchors you to the chore at hand.9 of 12People with ADHD get bored with their routines more quickly than those without the condition.
This doesn’t mean a complete overhaul, just a tweak.Schedule extra time to finish a task. Rather than trying to precisely estimate how long a task will take, just say, “Screw it. I’m going to need 30 percent more time for everything I plan, no matter what.” Just pick a number: Twenty percent more, 50 percent more, and allot that. The worst that could happen is that you finish it early.As you start your day, do the first three things that worry you the most to get them off your plate.
