I am SO guilty of trying to work against myself. What are some ways you guys pay your adhd tax up front that perhaps aren’t as expensive as hiring someone to clean or use a meal service.

I’m always early. Sitting and waiting is my adhd tax.

Turns out I can cook, I just hate prepping. I either buy precut stuff or I cook while my husband is home and he does the prep work for me.

Switching to frozen veg is such a lifesaver…

My mom can't understand why I buy the pre-made salads in a bowl. Because if I buy the lettuce and ingredients separate, I won't eat the damn salad!

I hired a house manager 🥺 She comes for 5-6 hours twice a week, and once a month an extra 2 hours when i work with her on important projects. I thought it would cost too much, but she replaced the cleaning lady and sending out laundry, which covers her paycheck already. Plus she preps breakfast/lunch and ingredients for dinner, washes all dishes, she reorders and replenishes alllllll the things, takes care of the cats, and does a ton of deep cleaning, maintenance and organizing that i was just never gonna get to! 🥺 What a life saver. I give her a large chunk of my own paycheck but the impact on our lives has been massive savings of time, energy, sanity and even money! 🥳

Tldr w/disclaimer that i have AuDHD so i realize my experience could be different than those without the "u". But i believe that the primary reason we are able to do things like clean for others but not for ourselves is because of the shame we attach to our messes. For example, we see the piles of dirty/clean clothes on our own floors as physical representations of our own limitations, character flaws and failures. And bc there are few things heavier to carry than shame, a shirt covered in years or a lifetime of it may truly weigh too much for us to lift alone. Conversely a pile of dirty/clean clothes on someone else's floor is simply that. A pile of clothes. And the only thing their dirty shirt is covered in is another shirt or maybe a spilled glass of wine so if we feel any emotion at all towards their mess, that emotion is most likely empathy which only further motivates us to clean or help in whatever capacity is needed. I get this is not exactly a groundbreaking revelation but learning to extend the same empathy i have always so effortlessly afforded others to myself and reframing the concept of "adhd tax" internally as well as in discussions w/others as "It is essential for me to be high maintenance up front in many areas of life in order to keep my daily life low maintenance" (and by "low maintenance" I actually just mean closer to normal with less expensive mistakes) has helped me improve the quality of my life over the last several years. Is some of it mostly semantics? Sure. But words matter and for me even hearing the phrase "adhd tax" can trigger an onslaught of mortifying memories of every single financial hit i have taken due to my neurodivergence which can easily send me into a shame spiral. Sharing bc I believe that the shame our symptoms cause us to feel can be an equal if not greater hinderance to progress in many situations than our symptoms themselves. ❤️

Also cancel 7 day free subscriptions immediately. 90% of them will let you use them until the 7 days are over even if you have already cancelled in advance. Otherwise have fun paying the 28$ for a month on an app you only wanted to try once

grocery delivery is a mind saver. I know exactly what I'm spending, I can take days to refine my list, & the delivery plans even offer extra savings for using it. I order my Costco stuff to get delivered. it costs a little more than going into the store but it's minimal in my opinion. plus delivery means I'm not making impulse purchases or getting frustrated when I can't find where they store items. delivery=no melt downs pre-cut veggies mean I'm eating veggies. individual portion sizes means I'm eating. convenience foods are worth the extra money & save food waste

I still remember the first time I let myself buy the precut vegetables and the absolute elation I felt about accommodating myself and my needs

Only buying clothes from online stores with long return policies and easy returns. Learned my lesson too many times. Nordstrom, target, REI, Anthropologie, Nike.

I call this concept. “Budgeting for laziness” yes I know it’s not laziness. But when I say it people leave me alone.

I stopped folding clothes and bought a steamer instead. Wrinkle free clothes take 2-3 minutes and no folding required.

I kept losing my earbuds so I bought like three pairs in advance so I wouldn’t get sad waiting for a new pair or trying to punish myself for losing them

I think it’s easier to clean up other peoples stuff because it’s easier to make decisions you don’t have to live with. It’s easy to put stuff away when you won’t later have to agonize over whether the place you put it is really the best place for it and then reorganize everything multiple times until it all just stays out because you can’t decide what works best…

So that’s what that’s called 🤣 I was calling it “compensating for my quirks”: a vacuum upstairs and down so I do both floors; duplicate cleaning supplies on both floors for same reason; only buy frozen fruit cause I don’t know when I’ll get around to eating it but I know I’ll make a smoothie one day 🤣

I started getting everything delivered. I put my essentials on auto delivery. I don’t go to the grocery store. Yes, I pay up front and I don’t pay on the back end as much anymore

I have one pair of scissors attached by retractable lanyard to my junk drawer. That way, I always have a pair of scissors I can find!!! (There is technically 3 pairs of scissors that have a home in that drawer, but they keep going on walk a bouts)
