Top 5 ADHD Tips
Hey there team, we're nearly at the end of 2020 and I thought I'd deliver a bit of a shorter episode this week focusing on some of the strategies that I find are the most important for managing my ADHD. This is definitely not a definitive list and as for the order of things... well I moved things around a number of times trying to decide what the best order would be and honestly I'm not sure there really is an order or truly a most important thing. When we're trying to manage our ADHD an important to remember is that it's all connected - anyone step we take is going to make the rest of the steps easier and while somethings really are more important than others, what we've really got to focus on is doing what we can, because anything we do is going to be helping everything else. So while there may be things that might be more effective to do in managing your ADHD, don't worry if you're not there yet. Do what you can now and you'll get there eventually.
This Episode’s Top Tips
Work on Accepting your ADHD and giving yourself what you actually need to thrive.
Realize we're all snowflakes and that our ADHD is unique - what works for me might not work for you.
Learn about your ADHD by embracing your ADHD community and finding out what it means to have ADHD.
Don't rely on willpower for the things that are really important - set up systems that will work even when you don't want to.
Work on creating realistic expectations - too often we overestimate what's possible and end up feeling like we let ourselves down just because we couldn't actually juggle all 100 projects we wanted to do.
