How to ADHD

0 Replies

* When necessary, ask the teacher or boss to repeat instructions instead of guessing about what was said.

* Break large assignments or job tasks into small, simple tasks. Set a deadline for each task and provide rewards for each completed task.

* Each day, make a list of what needs to be done. Plan the best order for doing each task, then make a schedule for doing them. Use a calendar or daily planner.

* Work in a quiet area. Do one thing at a time. Take short breaks.

* Write things down in a notebook with dividers. Write different kinds of information, like assignments, appointments, and phone numbers, in different sections. Keep the book on hand.

* Post reminders of things that need to be done.

* Store similar things together.

* Create a routine. Get ready for school or work at the same time, in the same way, every day.

* Exercise, eat a balanced diet, and get enough sleep.
