I have an AirTag on everything I take with me everyday car key, house key, backpack, wallet… so that when I leave home and i don’t get any notification on my phone I know I didn’t forget anything (it help to reduce the guess work and wasting time checking if I forgot something)

I really have trouble concentrating and being able to keep my attention on several things at the same time. Usually when I'm talking to a person, they think I'm ignoring them and they think I have discipline problems. When a topic interests me, I investigate it thoroughly and if something is not of interest to me, I simply abandon it.

Visualize yourself doing the things: if you want to go to bed early, play the movie in your mind of you going home, having dinner then getting in bed and reading. Visualize it over and over again, always works.

I put music on my phone and I don't turn it off when I'm leaving the house.While I'm closing the door,I always think "Did I take the phone?",then I hear the music and I know that it's in my bag and I don't need to check.

My ADHD hack is to use papers from my work (Restaurant) that has those pre-printed Lines, so that my text isn't giant. On that paper are written ideas, thoughts and Tasks to do tomorrow. That way, I have not forgotten 90% of my plans for the day! It's awesome 🤩

I use a whiteboard Have it in a prominent position in the house Put 5 things I need to achieve in that day Then use white board markers to tick off items I’m accomplished

If you ever need something that is “far away” from you, come up with 2 different things to help you reach it in each category below: 1. Come up with 2 simple ways of achieving 2. Come up with a time line 3. Estimate when you need a break After that, you should have 6 steps, and you break them up into smaller steps, until you have 24 steps to put in your final plan. Choose about half of those 24 steps to put in the last plan. This surprisingly only takes 5-10min of your day! ( note: this only works with one day plans, but I will find a way to do it with 2-3 day goals

If you want to go to the gym - don’t sit down after work. Go straight there and change there.

Hack - Accept yourself as you are in the moment. And then do anything else if you feel like.

Fix with yourself a dead line for the one thing you have to do. Put an alarm with the name of it and how or when you have to. Delete the alarm when done or use it as a preset for a current habit . Ex : "psy the f.5 of november at 7.15pm"

Having an herbal tea before bed helps you set a sleep routine
