Create an ADHD life operations manual to serve as an external "brain" to compile information and systems that keep you on track. This practical tool minimizes the negative impact of executive function difficulties while maximizing your ability to get things done.
• Start with areas causing the most trouble or that you're motivated to improve
• Finance organization can include payment charts, budget information, and receipt storage
• Time awareness sections help combat time blindness with habit trackers and calendars
• Consider including sections for household responsibilities, medical information, and self-care
• Details of a category should include who does what, when, how, and any resources needed
• Gather contact information, resources, and notes on preferences in each area
• An operations manual prevents important tasks from being skipped, reduces arguments and nagging, and saves money.
