Building Better Routines When You Have ADD

Written by

Routines can make daily life less dependent on memory, motivation, or a perfect mood. For many people with ADD, the most useful routines are small, visible, and easy to restart after an interruption.

Practical ideas

  • Start with one anchor habit, such as preparing tomorrow's bag after dinner.
  • Keep tools in the place where the task actually happens.
  • Use checklists that are short enough to finish on low-energy days.
  • Review the routine weekly and remove steps that create friction.
