PRACTICAL ADHD STRATEGIES TO TRY
Women with ADHD often find non-medical strategies
and tips highly effective in managing their busy brains
and improving daily functioning. Here are some practical
non-medical tips:
1. Structured Routines and Gamification
Yes, our ADHD may not like boring routines, yet they can
help you stay organised and reduce feeling overwhelmed.
To encourage yourself to stick to tasks or to-do’s, see
how you can challenge yourself by creating different
rewards for doing something in a certain time or
completing a set number of items.
2. To-Do Lists and Planners
Use to-do lists, planners, or digital task management
apps to keep track of tasks and deadlines. Break larger
tasks into smaller, manageable steps and prioritise them.
3. Set Reminders
Set alarms, notifications, or reminders on your phone or
computer for essential appointments, tasks, and
deadlines so your hyperfocus or time blindness are
managed.
4. Time Management Techniques
Explore time management techniques like the Pomodoro
Technique (working in focused intervals with short
breaks) or time blocking (allocating specific time blocks
for different tasks) to improve productivity and maintain
focus.
