From Scattered to Centered: 10 Tips for Women with ADHD

From Scattered to Centered: 10 Tips for Women with ADHD by Chani Scharf, CPC-AAPC, ADHD Coach

1. Create a Launching Pad: Keep your essentials (e.g., keys, wallet, phone) in one spot near the door to simplify your morning routine and save time searching for misplaced items.

2. Visual Reminders: Use visual cues like sticky notes, calendars, or apps - whatever works for you - to keep track of important tasks, appointments, and deadlines.

3. Break Down Large Tasks: Divide large tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces to make them feel less overwhelming, allowing you to focus on one step at a time.

4. Stay Focused: Minimize distractions with tools or apps (e.g., website blockers, focus music) that help sustain attention and keep you on track. 

5. Pomodoro Sprints: Using a timer, break work into 25-minute intervals, followed by a 5-minute break, to boost productivity.

6. Self-Care: Carve out time for things that bring you joy or relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, reading...

7. Time Blocking: Create a dedicated block of time for your most important tasks and goals, and use a timer or alarm to keep momentum going. 

8. Brain Dump: Write down your thoughts and to-do's to clear your mind, and reduce overwhelm.

9. Celebrate Your Wins: Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem, to stay motivated and appreciate your progress!

10. Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself - you deserve it! It's okay to be a work in progress, and it's okay to have ADHD.
