Myself, my wife and all 3 kids have adhd. Shared Google calendars are mandatory.
Does methylphenidate count as a life hack?
If I think of something I need, I usually just order it on Amazon prime right then, that way I don't forget latter and accidentally run out of garbage bags or something.
Careful with that. You might get put on a list.
I remember in the 90s I had a system. You know those yellow sticky notes? Well I kept some in my bookbag for school. If I needed something, I wrote them down, and then on the weekend I'd put the sticky note on my door so I'd remember what I needed to grab from walmart.
Each of these items had COMPLETELY unrelated reasons that I was buying them. I wrote them down on unrelated days. At completely different times. With zero thought connecting them. However, I realized as I stepped in line what I had just done. I abandoned my cart entirely, and just LEFT.
I didn't go back to that walmart for 3 years.
As I stood in line, with items in my cart, I realized I was about to buy:
1 box of 36 gallon trash bags
1 pack of sharpie markers
1 pair of scissors
1 container of draino
2 gallons of bleach
1 gardening shovel (the little ones that are 6 inches and a handle)
1 coloring book aimed at preschool children
1 jar of glitter
3 bottles of elmers glue
1 jug of orange juice
36 hersheys cookies & cream candy bars
1 pack of 3 pairs of dishwashing gloves
1 box of 10 condoms
1 box of cheerios
I saw that, and thought "holy shit! This looks like I'm about to have some kind of cult ritual sex, kill them, clean up the scene, bury the body, and then have breakfast!
And if they're very, very lucky, you'll do it in that order.
Lol.
