I plan each day as precisely as possible.
Everything has a time and place.
I’m like a giant wind-up doll.
That’s ideal when you have ADHD.
If everything is planned, you have an advantage.
You won’t stumble or lose things with a smooth process.
And you’ll have a backup plan.
ADHD means you’re in chaos mode.
That’s why I go to bed in the same way.
I tend to live with lots of precise rituals.
My office is set up for optimal use.
I bought the same daily outfit.
The secret to a smooth life is reducing your options.
I loved not thinking about what to wear.
You can write your own fashion rules.
Life was simple.
Getting ready was easy.
I like simple because ADHD makes life hard.
Being organized helps me make good decisions.
Instead of buying junk food…
I have cooked food.
I have fruit on the counter, so I reach for it when I want a snack.
I weigh myself every day.
This helps me monitor my eating habits.
When I reach my cutoff weight, I shift my mindset.
I rely on journaling to stay organized.
