The sad truth about ADHD and 2024 goals

What to do next ⤵️

We often set New Year’s resolutions that are too overwhelming and therefore find no motivation to start.

Step 1) Build momentum

Start with the smallest incremental goal towards your big goal. Celebrate these small wins.

Step 2) Body Double

External accountability is stronger and less volatile than intrinsic motivation. Find someone to partner up with and work together to reach your goals.

Step 3) Create Healthy Dopamine

Swap fast food, endless scrolling and alcohol with exercise, cold exposure and sunlight whenever you can. Your focus and life will last longer.

Step 4) Daily Reminders

Build a vision board that will remind you if your goals every single day. Allow yourself to stay flexible. We often don’t want things we used to want anymore, and that’s fine. Just swap it out.

Step 5) Pomodoro Technique

Work in sprints. Time yourself for 25min work and 5min rest sessions. Repeat as often as you want. Helps with time blindness and short term motivation.

Step 6) Daily Goals

Break down your big goal into smaller, more manageable chunks. Tick them off when you’re done to eliminate overwhelm and feel accomplished.

Trying to change things suddenly doesn't work for me long-term, but I know what does! Make TINY goals to change my HABITS in SUCH SMALL INCRIMENTS that the hardest part each day of doing the goal is REMEMBERING to do it. No willpower allowed!

For example, I used to eat virtually no vegetables. My first goal was to have some kind of vegetables, even if it was just some SEASONING, every day. I worked on this until I was able to consistently do that each day, and until the habit was so ingrained that even if I forgot to remind myself to do it, I'd still continue to do it long-term. Then I worked on just having a TINY "serving" of vegetables each day. And I kept working my way up, until now I eat a full sized salad every day.

I used this strategy to go from eating 6 times a day to once a day. (I like the feeling of having lots of food in my stomach, or else I'd so smaller portions throughout the day. I still eat enough calories each day.) I also used this to decrease my calorie consumption from 3000 a day to whatever it is now. (I don't count calories, because it isn't sustainable for me, even if I allow infinity calories.) I lost 30 pounds in the last year and went down 6 clothing sizes, and it's SUSTAINABLE!

My weight generally stayed the same for about 2 months before my new habit solidified and I was ready to make another change. This was fine, because if you establish the healthy habits, the results will follow.

Boddy doubling weirdly works... Pomodoro's only frustrate me.
How do you set goals when you're too depressed to know what you want?

Exploring different ADHD therapies has opened my eyes to the diverse approaches like psychotherapy, behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. It's inspiring to witness the unique journeys people take with ADHD treatments. The variety of options available truly empowers individuals on their path to better mental health.🧠💪

Tiny small goals! A dry erase board to write down things as they come- before they go…set a timer and complete projects in 30 min increments- when timer goes off small reward. And exercise!!!! Do something fun…. Has anyone heard of Kangaroo boots? Play have fun!!! ADHD teacher of tiny humans who just recently got diagnosed. No wonder I always connected with these neurodivergent children!!! ADHD energy is a superpower!!!! And I’m almost 50 and can keep up with my five year old students!!! Thank you for these!!! I worked with so many families of children over the years who get diagnosed and like with everything there’s good things 🫶

I have the kind of feeling i might have undiagnosed adhd

[kelseyv]

Cool and encouraging that goals don’t have to be there, just fundamental things that work that don’t change us necessarily into different humans, but keep the momentum that we need to go into the new year with!

And that's why I DO NOT SET ANY GOALS FOR MYSELF. I DO NOT PLAN I IMPROVISE

[aaheemas]

pomodoro doesn't work, if I lose focus I can't refocus! I'd get nothing done 🙃

[norahassan]

Know I think your slap open up his whole scalp 😂😂😂seems hus friend

[DaltonKevinM]

I think because as someone with ADHD the big picture is easier for me than minutiae that I have trouble setting intermediary goals. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I have no problem identifying step one and where I want to end up, but where am I supposed to be at mile marker 500?!

[autobotdiva]

i cant even get weekly goals, its annoying
