Sticky Notes

ADHD symptom
Constantly forgetting things and being disorganised.
Why this happens
The executive dysfunctions that come with ADHD mean there is a deficit in working memory and organisation skills. Inattentiveness in ADHD shows up as being easily distracted.
The strategy
Externalising my thoughts by writing down what’s in my head onto sticky notes works for me so I don’t have to depend on my poor working memory. Putting the sticky notes in places relevant to the note plays a part in the strategy.
