I bought myself 2 chargers for mine. One for the bathroom, because I take it off to shower so it forces me to remember to charge it when I’m in there. The other is next to my bed for when I sleep!
@@mammabear379 the key is to have 2 chargers with one that is next to your bed for example and that won't move. Even if I can't find the other and I have to go on vacation I don't take it. And if its my phone charger, then I will buy one new where I go and keep this extra charger on my suitcase/bag. I promise I havent loose any chargers with this technique.
We got my grandfather an Apple Watch after my grandmother died for safety reasons. I was afraid that he would put it in the charger in the evening and end up not having it on if he fell it something. I haven’t checked to see if this is actually a thing, but my idea was to see if we could buy two charging cases so he could leave the cases on the charger then switch them out when he needs to. That way he’d never need to take it off to charge.
Lol if something isn't in my direct line of sight, I completely forget it ever existed. Clear containers are amazing! Or at least ones that have lil slots or something where you can see in side. Or open-top baskets and bins! Super super helpful!! 😁 I still forget about most of the things I own and love, BUT they still help a lot. And rediscovering my stuff is like Christmas 😅
I actually do the reverse of this sometimes. If there's an item that I regularly get distracted by, I put it in a opaque container to mentally block ot out haha
I got diagnosed at 27 (a year ago) and I just realized that one of my more helpful gadgets were my Apple Watch. It broke 2 weeks ago and I’ve been without since and I can’t function like before. I’m in a super funk and I realized the biggest difference is that I don’t have my watch and the features it has that have helped me tremendously. It’s incredible how these things can really change things for us 🥺 I’m waiting on my new one and it’s like needing a drug, I want it NOW 🙈 other things that have helped me a lot is my google nest/smart lights/smart speaker and my robot vacuum. Wouldn’t want to be without any of them 😍
Clear organizational tools!!! Why didn't I think of that? Those with ADHD tend to struggle with object permanence so if you cant see it, you simply dont think about it.... what else you got for me? **keeps watching**
That’s not true, and that’s not what “object impermanence” is. Object impermance is a normal quality of the psychology of humans when they are babies - if they perceive an object, for them the object literally “exists.” If they cease perceiving it, to them, it literally ceases to exist. That’s why “peek-a-boo” games are so compelling for them - to them, you are functionally disappearing and reappearing like a wizard from Hogwarts. ADHD people lose track of their keys, or forget that we were supposed to put them away after we leave the room, and we might casually joke that "it’s like object impermance!" the way someone might joke “I’m so OCD! I have to have a tidy apartment!" but we don’t imagine that our keys literally vanished from reality just because they’re no longer in our field of vision. ADHD people do often organize “in piles" so we can see the whole when we’re looking for parts, but that’s due to our deficits in working memory.
@@zachhanks4399 that's because we as adults understand that nothing simply vanishes, but it really does, in effect, vanish from our brains. It's part of why we struggle to maintain relationships properly. Between this phenomena and a terrible sense of time( things are either "right now" or " not yet" ) you don't realize necessarily that ,say, it's been months since you last called back home 😬
@@krystaljewell1987 Nope. Has nothing to do with adulthood. The thing that ceases to have our immediate attention really does NOT "vanish from our brains." It has nothing to do with relationships or time. It is not forgetting to call home. It is not a shift in attention. It is not the experience of forgetting. It is not impaired working memory. It is not an ADHD symptom. Object permanence/impermanence is a normal developmental milestone that babies grow out of as toddlers, including the ones with ADHD.
@@zachhanks4399 I don't know when you may have received the diagnosis or how much research you've put into the condition, but ADHD is no longer classified as just an attention issue, there is a host of other issues that are classified within it and perhaps I am wording all this in a way that you are hung up on a term, but look around at others expirence with the condition, there's no shortage of others sharing , trying to raise awareness. We struggle a lot with "out of sight, out of mind" , maybe this is a symptom you are lucky enough to avoid( and if you are lucky enough to live without this, good for you! You really beat yourself up once the same issue comes up 4,5, 6 times) but it doesn't change that it happens and it happens a lot. Every person's expirence is unique and I can respect that. You may choose to understand your experience however you need to. I'm just working with the information I have available to me and the best way I know how to explain it to other people.
This video was VERY helpful! More videos like this please! I’m 45 and was just just diagnosed last year. Really struggling. I have some of these products and didn’t even realize you could do that stuff with it! Thank you for showing me how to find my phone I just lost it the other day! Now I know how to find it with my watch very easily. Do you think it’s safe to order glasses from online retailers? I ordered progressives and they seem fine but yesterday someone told me they are bad for my eyes now I’m worried.
Hey there ADHD Sisters. I got a crossbody phone case! It has been LIFE SAVING! I haven't needed to go hunt for my phone in a month! I purchase the Emily in Paris phone case on Amazon, because I just had to buy a NEW phone, because I left mine on top if my car, and drove off. (No trace of phone) Also helps as I no longer drop my phone.
Everyone keeps saying clear containers. Yeah I forget what I have easily. So I write it all down. But I know myself well enough that if I did buy all these containers to organize, n I probably would jus because it sounds like it would work. I'd never get around to filling them. I also hate when u cn see what's in everything. Because again knowing me all ud see is a giant mess inside everything. While I know clear containers would work great for most of us, n I'm glad it does, as well as chore lists, they don't work for me. But that's how we learn what does n doesn't work for each of us. Sharing what works for each of us n trying it out
The glasses holders r great for remotes too. I use them for both. I also make sure to have a pair of glasses in each color. Because I have cats who like to steal my glasses. I cnt see to find my glasses w out glasses. So having many spares on hand helps me find them when the cats act like little thieves. Lol
I have the same problem w post consistency. I hardly ever do a video because I'm so overwhelmed by it I start planning it n then stress so much obsessing about it I wear myself out n then jus don't do it. I'm doing the same thing w my writing that I'm supposed to b doing so I cn publish a few books. I want to do it. But I focus on it too much. N then jus get tired n don't do it. Lol. If my hunny Sam were here to help me n motivate me it probably wouldn't b so hard
I have ADHD and, for me Notion was a nightmare. There's a huge learning curve and way too much "shiny object" potential to it. It also tried to be too many things at once. I'm glad it works for you, but I didn't find it ADHD friendly at all.
It can be overwhelming at first but once you learn it it’s very useful because it’s something that can be customized. I did launch a course recently walking through it and have about 2k members of the adhd and Notion fb group who love using it. But it’s not for everyone so I hope you find a tool for you!
You should look into a Sash bag, it’s a different kind of purse that I wear all day, under my coat and even while driving. It has 10 pockets and built in wallet for credit card and the front pocket is perfect and o secure a phone but still grab it at a second’s notice. It’s really life changing.
I just came across this video and I loved it! Thank you so much 🙏🏽 It’s funny because I think I have nearly every single one of the products you have and I am a massive fan of Notion. New subscriber 🙌🏽
The clear container part those who adhd will understand if you use it every day but when it's out of sight its out of mind that's why always have things that are important in your line of sight 😂
My husband along with 4 other police officers and a detective were pick pocketed in New Orleans. He called me because his credit and debit cards were in his phone. Thankfully I had all his numbers and got everything canceled but we won’t put cards and phones again. I don’t carry a purse either. So I take a wristlet wallet and my phone separately. Just be careful!!!
I might re try using a supplement organizer. I have some of them but they don't have days of the week so I would always forget to take them. I would be a bit careful recommending supplements. As a TCM practitioner is that people think that anything natural is okay. Tumeric is a great herb but it is also a blood thinner which can cause problems for people with heart conditions and blood disorders...just FYI. I have a pressure cooker. I did well when we had a hurricane and bought recipe books for it. I am so bad about cooking even with the pressure cooker. My husband cooks for us. I use Asana but I will check out notion. I use Asana for my entire organization but I do have some issues with it for my business but personally I find it very helpful.
Great video. But why do so many TH-camrs ask for subscribes and likes before the video?? How do we know if we want to do either unless we watch the video first? It makes more sense to put that at the end. Also, be very cautious with supplements. The supplement industry is entirely unregulated, and many do not contain what they claim to, or have harmful ingredients. Caveat emptor (buyer beware).
I love my instant pot... but I can't Ever be bothered to clean all the little pieces it drives me nuts, the lid will just sit on the counter for weeks , it's now sitting in my basement 😂
Thanks so much for the tip about using your watch to find your phone! Even though I have Samsung products, not Apple, as soon as you said that I looked to see if my watch could do that too. And it can! I've had it for over a year and never knew. 🤣
From the bottom of my heart please purchase magnesium oil spray that you Spritz 30 times on an area and massage in this will help with Achy muscles and sleep do not buy supplements my whole family swears by magnesium oil spray
Wristlet purse 👍🏻 Phone & few things-keep it connected to your body , Literally. Leave purse in Car . I never think I would possibly put my phone down, and walk away again. But I do, never fails. I’m over it😒😂. Dorky little wristlet it is! Coach though 😝.
Could you maybe give more information in the supplements you’re taking? Like the 5-htp, why is it helpful? I’ve been looking around for supplements that can hopefully help me, but haven’t been able to find interesting and clear enough information about it so far. Tried to check the resources for the information, but it ain’t there, bit disappointing tbh 😕
Be careful with 5HTP. It can have harmful side effects in some people, especially if not balanced out with certain other compounds. Best to consult a professional.
I actually got rid of my ninja blender because my carer sliced his fingers open when trying to carefully wash it. I bought a child friendly ice-crusher instead. we were only using it to make iced slushys anyway. I'm not sure about all these electrical things, I don't like Bluetooth and couldn't get on with the iPhone I had after having android. I like the pill organiser though. I've subbed, thanks for the information. ❤️😊🙏

Hope you got the diet portion a little more figured out. When I heard cereal and pancakes, I was like 'oof'. For me at least, making sure not to get simple carbs/sugar or even really wheat tends to help a LOT. I can tell pretty quick after eating something like that how it's impacting me now that I'm not too used to it.
My adhd had me buy the Apple Watch, BUT if I have to charge it…. I won’t wear it for weeks lol
I bought 2 Amazfit watches and I keep losing the chargers. I just gave up and didn't want to buy another one.
I bought myself 2 chargers for mine. One for the bathroom, because I take it off to shower so it forces me to remember to charge it when I’m in there. The other is next to my bed for when I sleep!
@@mammabear379 the key is to have 2 chargers with one that is next to your bed for example and that won't move. Even if I can't find the other and I have to go on vacation I don't take it. And if its my phone charger, then I will buy one new where I go and keep this extra charger on my suitcase/bag. I promise I havent loose any chargers with this technique.

I had the same thing happen with my galaxy watch.. works great when it's charged! twice a month
Lol if something isn't in my direct line of sight, I completely forget it ever existed. Clear containers are amazing! Or at least ones that have lil slots or something where you can see in side. Or open-top baskets and bins! Super super helpful!! 😁
I still forget about most of the things I own and love, BUT they still help a lot. And rediscovering my stuff is like Christmas 😅
Ahahhaha can totally relate to rediscovering items feeling like christmas!
I actually do the reverse of this sometimes. If there's an item that I regularly get distracted by, I put it in a opaque container to mentally block ot out haha
It's so cool to see 3 of the tips, I had come up by myself to manage my ADHD. Thanks for the other seven tips.

These tips helps but they don’t consider at all your privacy. Apple Watch and Amazon Alexa would not be items I will enter in my house.
I trust apple products more than Amazon but you do you
Okay,. I hate to be that person! But please be careful with the headband and make sure you're aware of your surroundings. I can't help it - I'm a Mom!

Linked here! All my ADHD products from all my ADHD videos are in one place adhdandnotion.com/adhd-resources
great video and useful tips :)

I think you can disable that.
Thank you
just a note but some of the links in your description no longer work (e.g. the clear plastic containers link just leads to your general adhd list on amazon, which has no clear plastic containers in it)
The iphone, wallet is needed. Yes i get called out all the time for not having a purse.
*cries in broke college student that can't buy anything*
this is nice, but its almost like an amazon ad

Hope you got the diet portion a little more figured out. When I heard cereal and pancakes, I was like 'oof'. For me at least, making sure not to get simple carbs/sugar or even really wheat tends to help a LOT.

I don’t eat cereal anymore as you will see from my video about weight loss
BTW where did you get your desk?
I did a full office tour here th-cam.com/video/FlhSnSUswGM/w-d-xo.html
I’ve also gotten an Apple Watch for my adhd 😂 can’t wait to see your other videos now! Very well done and concise ❤️🙏
