ADHD Brain Hacks (working WITH your brain, not against it π§ β¨)
πͺπΌBody before brain
Movement first = focus later. A quick stretch, dance break, or walk tells your nervous system itβs safe to concentrate.
πExternalize everything
If itβs not written down or visible, it doesnβt exist. Use notes, whiteboards, alarms, or sticky notesβ¦ your brain loves visual support.
β°Timer magic
Short bursts (10β25 minutes) trick the brain into STARTING. Starting is the hardest part, not finishing.
πΆπΈPair boring with pleasure
Fold laundry with music, answer emails with a cozy drink. Dopamine opens the door to focus.
π²πChange the environment, not yourself
Different lighting, floor sitting, background sound, or body doubling can instantly shift productivity.
π«Energy > motivation
ADHD runs on energy, not willpower. Rest, nourishment, and regulation come first⦠productivity follows.
π Your brain isnβt broken. Itβs brilliant, intuitive, and wired differently. When you honor it, it works with you π«ΆπΌπ«ΆπΌπ«ΆπΌ
