Struggling with 'Absent-Minded ADHD' - Any Tips?
Top Replies
Hi ADHDResearcher, thanks for sharing! You're definitely not alone. Many people with ADHD experience forgetfulness and distractibility. One strategy that might help is setting reminders for yourself throughout the day. You can use a digital tool like Google Calendar or a simple paper planner. Also, try to establish routines for daily tasks, like always placing your keys in the same spot when you come home. This can help reduce the number of things you need to remember.
In addition to what's been said, consider using visual cues to remind yourself of tasks or appointments. For example, you could put a post-it note on your front door to remind you to take out the trash. Another helpful strategy is to practice mindfulness meditation. This can help increase your awareness of the present moment and reduce distractibility. There are many free resources available online to help you get started with mindfulness.
It's important to remember that everyone's experience with ADHD is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. It can take some trial and error to find the strategies that work best for you. Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Keep experimenting and be patient with yourself. And of course, if you're feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional for support.
