ADHD Planning #adhd #neurodivergent #adhdbrain

[Robstar]

Pick one. Then, if there's time left, pick another. Or pick another if you no longer like the one you picked before.

[sorrenblitz]

Or. You make a list like that and you end up doing an entirely unrelated list of random tasks you didnt plan for.

Once in a blue moon you get a great day where you get it all done so you start to wonder if you are actually ADHD, and then the next day you're screwed.

[Chri]

Yes! I feel more overwhelmed because you have to live up to other people’s standards and if you’re not doing enough, then you’re “lazy”

[didemkilinc]

Most days I feel like a superhero if I can get my laundry done.

[vultureculture]

I love picking one, then when I'm satisfied because I did the one, I get that happy energy and I do All The Things EXCEPT the rest of the list. Yesterday I reorganized my entire film collection, started a new crochet project, cleaned my office, and got 2 weeks ahead on school all because I couldn't take half an hour to do the dishes.

Pick ONE. If you're lucky, you might accidentally hyperfocus on another.

You only get.
That enunciation emphasis expresses the struggle AND frustration so accurately.

[Proudtman]

She's right! Asking me to worry about more than 1 or 2 things a day is too overwhelming

[tabathaschell]

I just woke up my entire apartment building busting out laughing at this! So accurate it's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

I’m ADHD and not loving it, my girlfriend was always getting frustrated with me before she found out how ADHD works, but then, with these TikTok’s as a gateway, used her amazing analytical and research driven brain to research everything. She has since bought your book and has been the most supportive person in my life ever since, we are on chapter 3 together. Thank you guys <3

As someone who was diagnosed as an adult, I find these videos really comforting, thank you.

And yeah, I plan for three items. One done is a success, two is good, three is amazing and very rare.

[justagirl]

unless of course all those tasks were somehow urgently due by tomorrow morning, in which case I will get them ALL done in the final two harrowing hours of my day.... Because if I'm not panicked, I'm not motivated. 😆

[rumdeal]

I understand this overwhelmed feeling so well. Similarly if there are a few consecutive days where there's something happening each of the days I feel overwhelmed and wish I had a days break between those days

[kellyklapp]

I go to bed every night convinced and determined I can try harder to get everything done tomorrow and make a nice list for myself. Sometimes I make it longer, sometimes I'm like I will get them done if I just focus on four main points. But either way, 99% of mornings I wake up, completely forget said list as I'm just trying to survive the day, and only remember the to do list/schedule at night or if I happen to do one of the tasks and remember it because yay I can check it off! 🤣

[victoriawilliams]

Truth! Its a good day when you actually finish that ONE.

[NikkiDoesStufff]

I actually NEED lists. Like if it’s all floating around my head I get overwhelmed and paralyzed with inaction and then I forget things. If I write it all down, I can focus on one without fear of forgetting the others. Just don’t talk to me or ask me about the others while I’m doing one cause I’ll stress out and get distracted and never finish the first one.

My to do list today: feed the chickens, go to three grocery stores, put the groceries away, do the laundry, do the dishes, make dinner, change the sheets and take a shower. I was doing great until I got to the first grocery store, which had a terrible high pitched alarm going off in the back the whole time, which plugging my ears did not help with. I skipped the last store, got home and almost immediately had a meltdown on the pantry floor when I knocked the peach jar over. Fortunately I'm home alone and I can watch youtube shorts with a blanket over my head while I attempt to regulate my sensory overload. Lets hope I can get back out of bed before my husband comes home 😅

Medication saved my life. I always thought I just had anxiety and went to a psychiatrist to try to get a prescription for benzos. My psychiatrist probed and gave me all the tests and said I was an obvious case of ADHD, and my anxiety was likely a result of it. I never suspected that could be it and neither did my parents, they believed I just happened to be more difficult to parent than my siblings, plus my grades were never a problem. The feeling of my meds kicking in is very subtle and I barely notice it, but by the time its in full effect my anxiety is gone. If I had no idea what I was taking, I would have guessed I was on benzos (I've never taken them before).

[childofdestiny]

Lol! I can do three on a good day. Two on a medium day. One on a bad day. And on the very bad days? Get out of bed and feed myself, are the only things I can accomplish! I love your channel and thank you so much for helping me except and be patient with myself on all of the days!

[lillykoroma]

Sometimes for me "laundry" means putting the dirty clothes in the laundry bag. Next day taking the bag infront of the washing machine, and if that wasn't a struggle put the clothes in, if I get distracted because there are other priority stuff, then the clothes go in the following day. I follow a similar rule for putting the dishes in the dishwasher and honestly I get chores done in a week instead of a month. This is why I think I might have ADHD lol
