ADHD - anyone got any hints and tips for coping with life

[Gingernaut]

I have a magic marker in the kitchen, which I use to write the use by or best before dates on jars and packages

I use clear containers and jars so I can see what's in them and what state they're in

I don't have one cupboard for all the cleaning gear. I keep things I use to clean, close to where I use them - bathroom and toilet cleaners in the bathroom, laundry detergents close to the washing machine and shoe care stuff close to my shoes.

I have magnetic boards, lots of magnets and clips and even have magnetic sheets which I can cut and stick to items so that they can go on the boards - phone, frequently used screwdrivers and pen pots are all stuck up on IKEA metal boards

I keep a letter opener handy so that when mail come in, it's opened straight away. I decide whether it needs to be filed or whether something needs to be done and clip it up, ready to be dealt with.

I have lots of mirrors and dry wipe pens - If I need to remember something, I write it on one or more mirrors, so that when I look in the mirror, I'll see the note.

If I need to remember to post a letter or bring something out with me, I place it on the floor, in front of a door I have to pass through to leave the house.

I have magnetic note pads stuck about the place, so that I can write notes to myself wherever I am.

II have a whiteboard in my bedroom - the first and last thing I see when I wake up is what I've written on the board.

New job uses Microsoft Teams - I have my shifts to hand whenever I open the app.

Anyone got anything else?

Apps? Practices?

@Gingernaut I despise teams. Too much shit, to trawl through, all in one place. Imo it's the mental equivalent of being forced to traipse up and down every aisle of b&q to look for a pack of nails when you know you could just pop in a tiny independent and grab a pack straightaway.
Eg if I need to clarify something from a bulletin it's so much easier to remember exactly which client and project I was dealing with at the time I first read it, arrive at the date by a circular route and recall the original email. Ditto everything else. I can recall when colleagues are on leave by remembering what else we were discussing at the time they booked it. Checking teams is just another task to put off needing to do!

Teams may be withdrawn soon and the boss is up in arms.

With so many CEV people working from home, it's a pretty good way of keeping people in touch.
