Boy does that all sound familiar… I’ve taken to setting my watch or the alarm on my phone for 1 hr before ANYTHING I have to do and then 10 minutes before… the one hour to remind me I have it and the 10 minutes to remind me to go out the door.

I also set it to remind myself to stop for “on the way” errands. I’ll drive right by someplace I was going to stop to drop something off or get something, because I’m thinking about the final destination. I’m getting better at guessing how long it will take me to get somewhere on my route! The problem is remembering that I might forget to stop, so that I set the alarm …..

I’ve found a website called Flylady.net very helpful with breaking things down to Babysteps…. She never talks about ADHD but rather SHE’s (Sidetracked Home Executives). She does sell stuff she has found helpful in the FLYshop, but all of the services are free. And what does FLY stand for? Well she first got the name because she taught flyfishing so that was her email name… but it has come to stand for Finally Loving Yourself. IE accept the way you are, love yourself and then take baby steps to do what you have to do… AND make it fun!!! Many of her things seem silly because she knows that for folks like herself (and us)

“If it isn’t fun, it won’t get done.” She also gets you to develop routines (gasp!!! I HATE that word) but routines let you do the boring stuff with out having to think about it so you can use your creative energies the way you were designed to.
