Here are some things I use to accommodate my #ExecutiveDysfunction:

- putting a water bottle in my field of vision to prompt me to drink

- using alarms on my watch to remind me to move

- using a pen and paper planner to log what I do during the day and put in appointments
- have my carer send me prompt reminders for upcoming appointments via text message

- have people who want something from me send me repeated texts until I confirm that I did it for continous prompting

- create lists for everything and have them in my planner

#autism #ADHD
- create my own step by step guides for anything where I struggle to keep steps in my head

- have my bag ALWAYS ready packed so I don‘t have to remember to put anything in wheneer I leave the house

- always have water and a snack with me when I leave the house

#autism #ADHD
- have visual reminders of important things in my field of vision (for example that letter from my benefits I need to answer)

- have everything else stored away out of sight (behind curtains, shelf doors etc.) to minimize visual clutter and distraction

#autism #ADHD
- everything has it‘s place in my home so once I managed to remember where something is, that never changes...this eliminates the step of having to find things when I need them

- routines, routines, routines...things I do regularly, I do in the same way every time

#autism #ADHD
- automatic online payments of all our regular bills

I cannot stess enough how important this is. I am absolutely unable to remember and manage to pay my bills on time.

One digital thing that does work for me!
