Work with your brain, not against it

04/11/2026

Thank you to .with.adhd for asking this brilliant question!

When you work for yourself, everyone assumes the hard part is the work. For a lot of ADHDers it’s actually the empty calendar. No one tells you when to start, so you don’t. No one tells you when to stop, so you don’t do that either.

Structure isn’t something you’re supposed to just have naturally. You’re allowed to borrow it from other people, places and plans.

Before I was a parent, I volunteered for an organisation that walked dogs for older people that couldn’t get outside as often as they would like anymore. Not only did it give me an anchor every day, but it gave me a HUGE dopamine boost. I got to spend time with a beautiful doggy (I’m a dog lover 🐾 ), I got exercise, I got outside and I helped someone in need who was SO grateful for my assistance.

To my followers here in Western Australia, the organisation is called and they’re always looking for people!

There are so many wonderful organisations worldwide looking for help. Just do a quick google search!

And while we’re on the topic of tips… if you’re an ADHDer looking for more ways to get through your days, comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my ADHD Rescue Kit. It has 521 ideas for when you’re feeling stuck

My brain’s GPS forgot to install the ETA feature 🧭 I know exactly where I’m going. I have no idea when I’ll get there. Neither do you, apparently, since you’re always right on time and I resent that.

Time blindness isn’t about not caring, and it definitely isn’t about not owning a watch. An ADHD brain just doesn’t get the little countdown and warnings a neurotypical brain gets along the way, so the first sign of being late is usually…. being late. 😑

Hopefully this gives you the words to explain how your brain works to the people who “just don’t understand why you’re always late.”

Comment below if there’s another ADHD thing you need me to translate 💀

ADHD brains get told what they’re bad at on a pretty constant loop, so I made a quiz about what you’re good at instead. It’s 12 quick questions, and takes about 2 mins to complete. It’s basically a personality quiz that’s actually nice to you.

You’ll find out which of six strengths shows up most for you: The Spark, The Deep Diver, The Firefighter, The Heart, The Explorer or The Problem Solver. Your result comes with how it shows up in real life, the flip side (every strength has one, TBH), and a few ideas for making it work in your favour. If you’d like the full free 6 page guide for your strength, that’s the only bit where you add your email, and it lands straight in your inbox. It’s just for fun and reflection, not a diagnosis, but I genuinely think it’s nice to be reminded that the brain you actually have comes with some good stuff in it.

Comment STRENGTHS and I’ll send the quiz straight to your DMs 🫶 Then come back and tell me which one you got. Bonus points if you got The Explorer and have 40 tabs open right now.

It’s pretty wild to think how long some of us were masking without realising what we were doing.

You might have been labelled as “the organised one,” “the people pleaser,” “the perfectionist,” and sometimes even wore it as a badge of honour.

Then eventually you start asking… wait a sec, how much of this is actually me, and how much of it did I learn to do so nobody noticed I was struggling?

Masking can be useful. Sometimes it’s protective. The goal isn’t necessarily to rip the whole thing off. However the key is to notice when you’re doing it, what it’s costing you, and where you might feel safe enough not to work quite so hard to hide.

Update on the laundry: unknown.

BUT GUYS….. I now know snake bite first aid, exactly who to complain to about the block next door, and apparently I’m a lawyer who is ready for small claims court. I have also not seen a single snake in 10 years, soooo… great use of 45 minutes. Genuinely proud of my brain for the commitment and slightly concerned about its priorities.

What’s the furthest your brain has wandered off from the original task? Send this to someone who would have emailed the council too 🫶 (make me feel better about myself k)

Honestly, the overlap between my ADHD brain and my toddler is a bit humbling. We both need timers, squishy toys and snacks on a schedule, we both hide when things get overwhelming, and someone always has to double check that we actually did the thing we said we were going to do. The only upgrade I can find since age 3 is the drivers licence and the mortgage.

Honourable mentions to our emotional support drink bottle, wearing the same outfit until it basically disintegrates, needing a nap after an overstimulating social event, and asking someone a question then interrupting their answer.

Tell me your most toddler-coded ADHD habit. I know you’ve got some! 👇

I swear people get so weird about couples sleeping in separate rooms… Like somehow the number of hours you spend unconscious next to someone is a measure of how healthy your relationship is?

I’m a terribly disruptive sleeper (in the sense that I move around A LOT and make all sorts of strange noises) And the last thing I need is to feel guilty about disturbing someone else’s sleep on top of my own.

I think sometimes we get so caught up in what relationships are supposed to look like that we forget we can actually just… do whatever works for us?

Anyways, separate bedrooms get a 10/10 from me.

Curious how many other couples do this but don’t tell anyone because of the weird reactions they get??

Something amazing happens, it works brilliantly, and a few months later your brain has deleted the evidence. Meanwhile you can still recall every awkward thing you said in 2014. Lovely.

This is just how ADHD memory works. We’re not great at storing “this helped” for later use. So I stopped trusting my memory and started keeping a running list of proof I’m capable. Not vibes, an actual document. It’s full of the routines that worked, the hard days I got through and how, and the exact sentence I told myself to get out of the door on a bad day. I open it almost daily, and it’s genuinely the reason I still function.

Use your notes app, a handwritten diary, post it notes, or a scrappy bit of paper. It doesn’t matter where. It matters that you go back to it.

Tell me I’m not the only one who forgets her own wins 👇

I swear my brain remembers the most ridiculous crap but apparently remembering why I walked into a room is asking too much.

Please tell me I’m not the only one

Here’s the thing about asking an ADHDer if they’ve done the thing: the reminder usually isn’t the problem. It’s what it implies.

If I already know I need to call the dentist, “don’t forget” can land as pressure, and suddenly a task I was thinking about every 14 minutes becomes a demand. Add a little shame underneath (I haven’t forgotten, I just haven’t started) and a perfectly innocent “have you done that yet?” somehow translates in my brain to “still failing at this extremely basic adult responsibility?” You didn’t say that. My brain took creative liberties.

So if you love someone with ADHD, try asking whether a reminder would help, or ask ahead of time when they’d like one. You’re not managing us, you’re helping us manage ourselves, and that tiny difference is everything.

If you have ADHD, send this to someone who needs a very gentle NUDGE on how to ask you if you’ve done the thing you said you were going to do.
