ADHD Blocks

What is an ADHD block?

It’s something preventing you from moving forward

Often it’s the task that feels like pulling teeth

It can be doing the laundry, folding the laundry, doing the dishes, making food, anything

Some of these might be ok for you while others feel like hell. It could be a sensory issue, that it doesn’t provide any stimulation, feels too slow, etc

But what do you do? You have to do it anyway

Couple the activity with something else, something you enjoy. For example, listen to a podcast while doing the dishes. Watch TV while folding laundry

Make sure you’re making the task doable as well. Such as bringing a basket to put the laundry in that’s easy to carry around to put it where it belongs

With activity coupling, it’ll be a lot easier to get these tasks done (especially if you don’t have the option of body doubling)
