Executive dysfunction is probably the worst part of having ADHD. That and having issues regulating emotions.
I can't just clean, theres so much to clean that cleaning is just an insurmountable task on top of all the other things that i have to do first to even BEGIN cleaning.
I find that breaking my tasks into much smaller little tasks helps a lot. That way instead of failing to do one task I'm failing to do 50... wait.
Joking aside breaking the tasks apart helps me a lot. It's not "I need to clean my apartment," it's, "I need to clean my living room, bedroom, and dining room." And even that more task heavy list gets broken down a lot where basically each room becomes zones.
I might not finish the living room today but cleaning that end table will be something I can revel in finishing.
For me it also helps me practicing point-and-call for the tasks I need to do. It helps lowering my chance of getting distracted while I'm doing something and also helps prevent mistakes on more complicated tasks.
Oh yea, I've used this before and still do. But this only works to a point and for me, being medicated was my best option.
My first session with my pysch, she said it sounds like youre already doing everything i would normally recommend before prescribing medication so i think we should try meds.
Not that these kinds of things dont help, just sometimes needs to be paired with meds as well.
