A common experience with ADHD:
You may have a lot of ideas that all seem important, and are all competing for your attention at once. You don’t want to forget any of them. You're overwhelmed, and it feels like nothing ends up getting accomplished.
In those moments, I say two things to myself.
The first is this:
👉 The order in which you do things matters greatly.
That phrase means something very specific to me. It means I stop, right in the middle of whatever I'm doing, and ask myself one question: does this need to happen right now?
If the answer is no, it doesn't disappear. It moves into a different category, not now, or scheduled for later. That shift is what brings my executive function back online and settles my attention on this moment.
The second thing I say is:
👉 Just do the next right thing.
I know what it's like when there's too much to do and all of it feels important. Something can matter and still not be the thing that needs you this minute. It can wait. You're allowed to come back to it.
The harder part, if you know ADHD, is that out of sight really does mean out of mind. The remembrance often doesn't come back on its own, so we do need to create landmarks for the things we've set aside.
If you'd love support, we have a group starting September 29th.
This support group for women will help you better understand how your ADHD symptoms may be impacting you. But more than that, it is a safe place where we will share resources, tools, and strategies to address those behaviors that may be keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, and frustrated in your day to day life.
Message me if you'd like to join us.
