Could you share some of your strategies?

My girlfriend has ADHD and she mostly only can get things done when there are deadlines outside of her control (e.g. cleaning up when we have visitors). When she wants to do something just for her it can take ages, if it gets done at all.

I would like to help her with this but I don't really know where to start.


For 'time blindness' my personal solution is that I have a miband that vibrates periodically. I think most smartwatches have such a function.

I am an inattentive type who skated thru behavioral checks by being the quiet kid who never causes problems. What this really means is I am doing ranked competitive daydreaming and sometimes need to be reminded to exist.


Never felt so seen by something so succinct. Ranked competitive daydreaming indeed.
