Stuck on your next move? Writing it down can offer objective clarity. If the written plan still doesn't feel right, rewriting it can help, especially when revisiting old lists you've grown numb to. #ProductivityTips #DecisionMaking

Avoiding Assignments?
There’s a risk for those of us with #ADHD, to experience a motivational barrier to open a portal or a paper to find out what we need to do. If we can more easily access that information, we can reduce some resistance to doing the work.

Setup Tasks and Reminders You Can DO
When we consider setting up tasks or reminders for #ADHD-ers, it can be helpful to ask “Do I know what this means when I’m struggling most? Can I picture what I’d need to start?” Aim for simpler, clearer, and more visual

Overwhelmed By Tidying?
#ADHD-ers benefit from having visual calm, but decluttering can be overwhelming. Pick a very small area to start and finish clearing it. We gain momentum with smaller achievements moving forward because we actually finished *something*

Are Your Tasks Mixed in With Your Reference Notes?😱
Having clearly defined edges to categories, like what is a task we’ve recorded for ourselves to do versus reference material and notes for supporting our work, is critical for maintaining energy and motivation.

Don’t Keep What Your Won’t Look For
Before saving something because “I might need this later,” consider where you will look for that information. Things move fast, so consider deleting it and googling when you need it. Realistically, you will ook for it on the internet.

Stuck In Decision Paralysis? Here’s why Coaching Helps
Overthink much? #ADHD and Neurodiverse folks are superstars at winding ourselves into an impenetrable cocoon of Decision Paralysis. Coaching can be an incredible tool to help us out figure out what’s next and take action!

Why Email SUCKS!
Many of us feel that email is the enemy. Do you know why that is? The sheer number of things email represents! Is it your todo list? Your reference system? Your reading list for “when I have time”?

Does Your Work Deplete Your Willpower?
Depleted willpower can lead to impulsivity. If a lot of our time is spent making decisions and exerting our willpower, by the end of the day, those resources are depleted. We find ourselves engaging in more impulsive behaviors as a result.

How are You in a Crisis?
What happens to you in a crisis? Not exclusively, but often, ADHDers are calm, cool, and collected. This can translate to our employment, too!

Does Your Stuff Need Therapy?
Decluttering can be rough for #ADHD ers. If there are big feelings with the things we’re trying to get rid of, it can be excruciating. Get therapeutic support to process both our emotions and the objects

How Much do You Avoid Messaging Apps?
The red numbers telling us how many unread texts we have is yet another *should*. That badge actively drains our energy and ability to take action rather than motivating us to do anything about it.

[The ADHD Guild @theadhdguild]

Are You ENTHUSIASTIC and ADHD?
People with #ADHD are ‘enthusiastic’. We just love things and we love talking about how much we love things and we can get carried away by our intense, happy feelings! It can be a beautiful side of neurodiversity.

[The ADHD Guild @theadhdguild]

Neurodiverse and Had Bad Therapists? Try This!
Tons of us with #ADHD who have had bad experiences with therapy. Many, many people have found that if the therapist they work with is also neurodiverse, that there is a transformational change in the quality of their support.

[The ADHD Guild @theadhdguild]

Don’t Let Your Tasks Become a Well of Yuck!
If you constantly see a notification reminding you to do something, but it’s too big for you to do right then, you build up resistance to doing the task AND go more numb to all reminders

[The ADHD Guild @theadhdguild]

You DO NOT Want Reminders Like THIS!
If you have reminders notifying you of things you’ve repeatedly not done, consider turning those off. The more times we are reminded of something, but don’t manage to do it, the more resistance and numbness we develop toward it.

Why Does #ADHD Struggle with Laundry so Much?!
Laundry tasks are small, separate, and time-unconnected. By the time we need to do the next thing, our brains have switched focus, it's a massive effort to bring it back

[The ADHD Guild @theadhdguild]

Building up Resistance to All those Small Tasks?
The longer we repeatedly realize we need to do things we’re worried we won’t do, the more guilt drives us into avoidance. Other tasks get added to that pile, rotting and festering and making us feel worse
