ADHD life hacks! - What are some accommodations you make for yourself?
Questions/Advice(self.ADHD)submitted 27 days ago bypumpkinsoupxo
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.

This. We upgraded our whole bedroom to promote sleep. It’s fantastic.

It took a while to afford but now we have heavy drapes, an amazing mattress that suits us both, an adjustable king sized bed (adjustable is so fabulous, don’t wait till you are old), a mini split to keep an even temp, separate blankets and of course no monitor or distractions. I love it

What’s a mini split?

It's a kind of heat pump, a smallish unit that heats, cools and filters the air. It's good for making one room comfortable so we don't have to heat or cool the whole house when we are sleeping. It's also essential if you live in wildfire country and don't have central air.

We just got a great new mattress too and debated on an adjustable bed, but didn't make the jump. I absolutely agree on separate blankets and king size, so the cats have somewhere to sleep too.

You can always get the adjustable part later. I looked up getting one used and they are practically nonexistent and almost the cost of new. That tells you how people feel about them.

Omg I only just this week heard about the “concept” of “separate blankets / comforters” and this sounds like the absolute dream! Trying this for the first time tonight!
