One of the best things about learning you have ADHD is realising that once you let go of the idea of what’s ‘normal’ or ‘the proper thing to do’, there are so many ingenious, helpful and fun ways to make your life more ADHD-friendly.

For me, the hardest part by far of doing intensive, mentally challenging work is getting started – because unlike physical tasks and chores, I can’t get that extra stimulation from a TV show or a podcast playing in the background. I have to dedicate my whole brain to something that isn’t fun. So often I need to ease us into it, aka tricking myself into focusing – a vital skill to have in your adult ADHD toolbox.
