    I have a todo app and have set up recurring reminders for daily/weekly/monthly tasks.

    Daily for like dishes/trash/meals
    Weekly for laundry/groceries/etc
    Monthly for budgeting/deeper cleaning

    I don’t stress if I miss one (or many,lol) but at least having them in the app means I have the list handy already when I realize I should check it, and not be wondering “what was that once a month thing I meant to do…?”

    • Alarms and timers for everything.

    • Custom sounds for phone to be 10dB higher than normal, to ensure I hear them and don’t just block it out as noise.

    • Putting things that need taking care of later somewhere visible, like my laundry directly in front of my bedroom door so I have to do something with it just to open the door.

    • Having autism, too, so the ADHD problems just naturally balance out.

    If you feel like you’re struggling to accomplish a task, take a moment to think about your stimulation level. Are you understimulated or overstimulated? Sometimes just acknowledging it is enough, everyone has their own techniques.

    For example, if I’m trying to work and I’m understimulated, I might throw on some metal music or something like that. If I’m overstimulated, probably means I should sit in a dark room for 5 or 10 minutes until I feel better before trying to do anything.
