So some of my experience with ADHD during college has been hard, some easy, and I realized that a lot of what's helped me get things done is because I have clear schedules to things. But the second that schedule/routine is thrown off I get super upset.
Does this make sense? Idk.
Like I can give advice to other people with adhd like oh lists help me a lot but I don't mention that on a schedule based on my classes I will set time aside to make the list, organize it, color code it, etc. The task in itself doesn't come naturally and is another task to do.
So if my advice comes off as unhelpful I am sorry. My own experiences and anxieties fuel me forward, I get serotonin when I'm able to cross things off, but I don't talk about the dread I feel with one or two tasks that linger on every list, getting put off for days, weeks, months
Like I keep my room tidy and clean a lot, but that's usually to avoid doing something like study or work on a paper. That isn't exactly helpful is it? I do a lot of chaotic things too like carrying things that are on the way to a specific task. Even if I end up unable to do so.
And even me making this thread is task avoidance... I'm going to finish one (1) thing of homework now.
