I have not fit the diagnosis of ADHD, but I definitely have these tendencies. I believe there’s different levels on a spectrum and I’m somewhere on that spectrum

I’ve been doing this for years and it works wonderfully. I make a schedule for the day working backwards. I start at the bottom of the page with the appt time. Above it is my leave time. Above that is my start time for getting ready. I can then see how much time I have between now and my get ready time. For example, 9-1 is blank.1-2=shower/get ready. 2=leave. 2:30=arrival time. But when I make the schedule I work from the 2:30 time and work my way backwards. Now I know I have from 9-1pm to complete other things that fit into that time frame. I don’t flounder all day

Yes! I’m the same way. If I have a day off and there is some sort of family dinner or appointment at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, my whole day is ruined because that’s all I can think about. And then when he gets there, it’s all I can do to make it.

I try to leave the house early and run errands in the general vicinity. Even just window shopping. Because if I’m already out, I don’t have the anxiety of leaving.
