🧠 Make the next step obvious so it’s easy to start.

When you live with ADHD, it’s not laziness that stops you—it’s invisible barriers. The trick is to make the next step crystal clear and effortless.

Put your workout shoes by the door. Keep clean mugs next to the coffee maker. Leave your to-do list open where you’ll see it first thing.

Small adjustments can remove friction and turn “I’ll do it later” into “I’ve already started.”

💡 Ever notice how it’s easier to get things done when someone else is in the room?

That’s the power of body doubling — working alongside another person (in person or virtually) to stay focused and follow through.

Whether you’re folding laundry, tackling paperwork, or writing that report, having a “body double” helps anchor your attention and lower the barrier to starting.

Find a friend, coworker, or accountability buddy and give it a try—you might be surprised how much easier it feels to get things done together.
