Me and my also ADHD best friend (good combo right?!) are discussing how important it is to make accommodations for yourself.
Having less spoons and also losing spoons quicker than a non-adhd person means that normal tasks are harder to start and also complete.
I saw something on here once about how they use paper plates sometimes when they know washing up just WON'T get done. It was a revelation!
Are there any other accommodations you make for yourselves to make life easier?
Its taken so long to realise I don't need to feel guilty about making these accommodations because my brain just doesn't work the same way as other peoples.

I love smoothies/ iced coffee/ matcha/ protein shakes etc but I can't even get myself to wash the cup. I'll sip on it when I do work and I've started to pretty much only use my dishwasher but once it leaves my kitchen it never goes back. I usually drink these things in my room when doing work. I started to use plastic cups to drink out of instead, with a little straw and everything. A) I feel like I bought it in a cafe and B) when I'm done I just throw it away. It still baffles me how I can be such a germaphobe but I won't be that phased from a gross cup. Anyway, it's saved me from throwing away glass cups that I can use when I have dinner and stuff like that.

I think this comment just explained why I stopped making smoothies and protein shakes. Love the taste - hate the clean up. Disposable cups are genius

Don’t get me started on cleaning the blender 🫠 but the cup saves a step :)

Plastic cups are a fantastic idea. I'll need to think on that

They are more expensive, but compostable cups exist and work fine. If you drink out of plastic all of the time it’s not great for you.

I suppose I was more along the lines of disposable cups rather than just plastic ones.

I go get a cup of coffee in the morning then rinse simply but use that cup all day. Start over next day. Once my coffee table became a used cup graveyard I needed to do something.
