As someone with ADHD, I know that managing household tasks can feel like scaling a mountain ?? every single day. Balancing responsibilities, sticking to routines, handling surprise interruptions—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed! Recently, I joined The Distractables Podcast ??? to share strategies that work with the ADHD brain, not against it. Here’s a sneak peek at a few game-changers I swear by:
?? Try Body Doubling Have you tried working alongside someone, even virtually? Body doubling gives an amazing focus boost! ??♂? My wife Andrea and I even go LIVE every Tuesday on Instagram to fold laundry together. Need a little motivation? Join us at 8:45 PM EST to tackle those chores together!
?? Break Tasks into Small Steps ADHD and the all-or-nothing mindset often go hand in hand. Try this: instead of cleaning the entire kitchen, start with just clearing the counters. One small win leads to the next! ??
?? Communicate about Expectations #Ryan Reminder: The important people in your life cannot read your mind, and vice versa. Have an honest conversation about what is truly important to each person, and actually realistic to get done in the given time frame. Once that is done - time to Divide and Conquer!
Managing a household with ADHD is about finding what works for you. If you’re looking for practical, ADHD-friendly ways to get things done without the overwhelm, check out the full episode. Let’s make those tasks feel a little more doable! ??
