Please tell me I’m not the only one.
Let me preface this by saying I am a 30 year-old female from Texas that has been diagnosed with ADHD and sometimes struggle with social norms; the letter is easier to hide as I’ve had a number of years to work with people and this helps where I kind of naturally lack.
Hello, it’s getting to the point where I’m starting so many things that could be invaluable to me, but I get lost in the sauce because there’s so many outlets not enough time in the day. I’ll get side tracked and move on to the next idea causing chaos in my brain. I’m also prioritizing more short-term money making i.e. DoorDash ect because i lost nearly all of my possessions a few months back and have had a car accident. All while paying bills and having to pay off a large sum before September. (Just extra context to why their being prioritized)
So I actually have a business with a friend. And I have just started my own creating merchandise for fellow weebs and also work a very physically demanding job 4 days a week for 10 hrs those 4 days.
I guess what I’m seeking advice for is how do you help yourself? Stay on track especially when starting new things; exploring several different financial revenues.
I tried to make a list. It will get put somewhere out of my line of sight. I’ll get wrapped up in the next project and come back to it days later. Reminders on my phone. Typically come up while I’m doing something else (as it is almost impossible to stay still) and they get forgotten. (Do I need a room of whiteboard like Sheldon?)
all the well cursing at myself because they’re solid ideas and I’ve put work in already. That is just now being wasted. This is always been a large problem with mine is following through with really good ideas getting lost in the everywhereness that the Auadhd can often pull us in.
I keep finding myself call me back to these things that I would like to accomplish and achieve and know if I could keep myself focused on just one of these avenues. It could open many different doors for financially, and as a business owner and creator.
So I’m looking for anything….. tip, tricks, criticism, ideas or experiences that has help you or maybe even someone you know help ground them down when it was really needed. How to get “lost in the sauce” less and get some genuine focus in myself.
I understand that it boils down to self discipline. And I really really am trying…. I have high drive and low attention span. But I acknowledge that I need help and I cannot continue to split myself or my time the way I have been.
