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.
That can work but also can lead to tons of clutter.
Yup! And you can get where you'll step right over the garbage that needs taking out as you go outside and not even notice.
I was like "somebody likes lists more than me!" and in the last point, "ah, yes, just like me :)"
Where exactly does this 'balance out' part supposed to work? Cause that sure would be nice
For example My autism wants me yo keep doing the same things and stick to a routine, my adhd wants me to keep trying new things. Not everyone's ND is the same ofc.
And that is why the Christmas wrapping tote is still sitting in the hallway.
Different alarm sounds for different activities. E.g. shower alarm sounds like a shower running.
not too many alarms, though, otherwise they become noise
Timers are probably the sole reason I have a smart watch.
