How do you deal with your ADHD? (self.adhd)

No judgement? Do you use strategies or meds or both? I'm curious.

For me both. But without my meds I'm pretty useless.

Medication, alarms, chore lists with reminders, project boards (jira @ work, notion @ home).

My wife and I keep EVERYTHING in notion. Our entire lives, pretty much any plan or thing we need to remember to do or communicate goes in that app.

I use other stuff on top of it, but notion has allowed us to split the mental load of managing our household much better than before. I have terrible memory, but I can no longer use it as an excuse. I've gone from "oops I forgot" to "oops I didn't set a reminder, what do I need to do to prevent this in the future?"

It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that the combination of process and home project management through it has saved my marriage. Oh, and I guess therapy helps. Find a good therapist if you can afford one.

You're more organized that I am. Wow! Good for you! Glad it's working!

I'd say that my wife is the organized one - she just makes it easy to take advantage of the organization and contribute content to it.

She sounds like a great partner for you! 😁
