ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>One of my fave ADHD tips: if something will take less than two minutes* to complete, do it right away.</p><p>I've been putting off the task of adding a hook for my car charger for ever, yet it took about a minute to do. I'd left the hook out as a prompt recently, so when I was clearing the table and saw it I just went out and did it.</p><p>What are your favourite ADHD tips?</p><p>* obviously time blindness is a limiting factor, but hopefully something this small isn't too bad.</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ADHDtips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHDtips</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/neurodiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodiverse</span></a></p>

brent<p>For the record, sharing a similar story about myself in response to your story is an ADHD attempt to build rapport.

Arp Laszlo • Comics • ADHD<p>I finally learned to be a lot easier on myself about 3 years ago and it has made living with <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> so much easier (so has <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stoicism</span></a> and being intentional about whether something is worth the energy or not).</p><p>If you had to give one tip to someone newly diagnosed with ADHD, what would it be?</p><p><a href="https://mythology.social/tags/ADHDTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHDTips</span></a> <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/AmyPoehler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmyPoehler</span></a></p><p><a href="https://whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-memes/4005/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">whatwasidoingagain.com/adhd-me</span><span class="invisible">mes/4005/</span></a></p>
Arp Laszlo • Comics • ADHD<p>Q: How do you stay focused on one project or idea at a time?</p><p>A: I stop myself from doing too much in one day, or over multiple days (ie <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/hyperfocus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hyperfocus</span></a>), because it results in mild burnout, which means I have to stop &amp;amp; distract myself; days become weeks become months and re-starting *always* feels worse than starting.</p><p>So I limit myself to X hours/day, with flexibility to stop a little sooner if a stopping point presents itself, or a little later if I have to complete something. (This also accounts for Y hours/day for work.) </p><p>The biggest thing is to be easy on myself because my inner critic is a harsh MF. Being able to let it go (thx to <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/Stoicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stoicism</span></a>) and think that I’ll do better tomorrow is much more helpful than beating myself up.

Arp Laszlo • Comics • ADHD<p>Just realized that I’ve been able to <a href="https://mythology.social/tags/workout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workout</span></a> consistently because when I have the internal ‘Do I really want to work out today’ debate, I do it while feeding the animals.
