Hello, Brains & Hearts!

Harley, here. If you don't know who I am, no worries, I am How to ADHD's Community Manager! Though I definitely wear more hats than that. But that's besides the point.

I'm having a tough time focusing on work and what I need (and want) to be focusing on... and I figure I'm probably not alone in that fact!

So I figure... why not make this a little.. interactive? Or as interactive as I can get for a text post.

How? So glad you asked!

In the comments, note one task (or step) that you want to complete next. It can be anything! Some examples:

Getting out of bed.

Putting water on to boil for tea.

Opening up your email at work.

Or even as granular as entering your name in the name field on a form you need to fill out.

Or maybe it's just closing Instagram after scrolling until 2 in the morning (hi, it's me, I did that last night...)

Whatever it is, share it in the comments below if you're comfortable doing so!

Not comfortable sharing? You can still participate!

You can:

Keep it vague (filling out a form on a computer, you can leave the word 'type' for example!)

Write the initials of what you're doing (for example: Writing out a form would be WOAF. Writing out a form? Wringing out a foil? No one will know exactly what it means except for you!)

or just leave an emoji! It can be related to what you're doing or not related at all but the important part is that YOU know what the emoji means!

This way we can cheer each other on! And not feel alone in being distracted or otherwise struggling to set-shift, or other such things!

Remember to keep this a non-judgmental space, and please do not offer advice unless you gain permission from a commenter to provide advice!

So... what's the one task (or task step!) you want to do right now?

How to ADHD

For me, it's working on a second draft!

Suzanne Strickland

I want to successfully communicate to my financial advisor my neurodivergent limitations so that I receive the appropriate accommodations for my saving goals

I would really enjoy being able to clean the house so when wife gets home everything is nice and squared away. I’m taking it in chunks. Yesterday was kitchen and bathrooms. Tonight is playroom and laundry.

Angela Beebe-Harris

I'm trying to build out a PDF for an interactive course on Business. I am struggling to say the least.

Linda John

The next thing is to do all my daily exercises so that I can get showered and dressed.

Ritt!

Install my new toilet seat. I've been dealing with a physically broken one for weeks (in that adhd "I'll deal with that later..." way) and today I'm going to fix it! Already got a new tp holder installed that I've had so long it got dusty waiting for me

Ginger Laird

I want to practice drawing some electrical diagrams.

Kristina D Knight

I'm researching service organizations in the city I might join. I want to get involved, but the research is boring!!!!

Bunnie

I want to delete ten more emails from inbox, and download a new app

MagnaCorpus

Pick up the stuff that's waiting to be picked up

Thomas P Vickery

Groceries and kitchen trash- ie. Clean the kitchen. At the moment, it is unwelcoming.

Ben

Make my tea (dinner) so sausage and chips (maybe with green beans). The issue I have is that I'm tired, and the pots need washing first. I'm also hungry.

AlisaWhiteheart

Pick up my iPad and Logicool crayon and just draw without fear of judgement (both from myself and other folks)

Elisabeth Westner

Grocery shopping! I put the pro in procrastinate when it comes to grocery shopping! But here I am in my car getting ready to start heading to the store, so for once I've tamed my grocery store procrastination demon. 😊

Kae(NWPA)

Planning to send a Birthday card tomorrow with another letter by walking to the post office to mail them. 😊

Athi

For things I SHOULD do, laundry. For things I would LOVE to, play a game with my friends that we all really got into.

Meghan Moore

I need to eat. The list of tasks it takes to make food feels so daunting right now though.

Kevin O'Shea

Complete the top item on my "To-Do" list. It's been there a month.

Cal Harrington

Thank you! I need to write up a test plan. I got blocked by some ADHD unfriendly IT policies and spent my morning feeling about that. Looking forward to getting back to work on an actual task! I think this will help me. Thanks again!

Charlie

Do lots of laundry and fill out a form that I've been trying to do for months

BrimstoneJaq

Not lose track of important tasks while I'm trying to do 30 things...

Liz Tate

I know this was posted yesterday, but one thing I want to do today, besides all the things, is get through a whole work day, then therapy at 6. So that's 2 things kind of. Ultimate goal, therapy at 6. It's been 4 weeks!

Michelle Moran

I need to keep pushing on my job search. So next step is research and send inquiries to 5 more companies.

Heather Hendren

Laundry, job applications follow up and filling out applications consistently

Bunnie

take my meds, clean the kitchen oops that's two
