ADHD Survival Guide
Survival is not a failed version of optimization. Start by reducing invisible decisions and building external structures that respect variable energy.
Lower the Activation Threshold
Make the first action visible, physical, and small. Place tools where the task happens and define the next movement rather than the entire project.
Externalize Working Memory
Use one trusted capture point, visible timers, body doubling, and short checklists. Memory support is infrastructure, not a moral concession.
Interrupt RSD Spirals
Separate sensation, interpretation, and evidence. Delay irreversible replies while the nervous system is mobilized and seek context from a trusted person.
Build Recovery Into the Plan
Transitions, sensory decompression, food, hydration, and sleep are part of task design. A plan that excludes recovery is not operationally complete.
