Tips for coping with too much to do when you have adult ADHD

• Break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make them seem less daunting and more achievable.
• Set realistic deadlines for yourself and stick to them. This will help you to stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
• Reward yourself for completing tasks. This will help you to stay motivated and on track.
• Get organized. This will help you to stay on top of things and avoid feeling lost or overwhelmed.
• Ask for help when you need it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Take breaks. Don’t try to do too much at once. Take breaks to rest, relax, and recharge.
• Find a support system. This could be a therapist, a support group, or simply a friend or family member who understands what you’re going through.
• Remember that you’re not alone. Millions of people live with ADHD. There are resources available to help you cope and succeed.
• Most important! Write things down. Electronic to do lists are hard to find and manage. Writing is a relaxing activity that causes a meditative-like state and relaxes the brain. Scribble things out, draw pictures, use colored pens — just do what gets thoughts out of your head and commit them to paper. They will be there to review and cull later.

It’s important to remember that everyone with ADHD is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different strategies and find what works best for you. With time and effort, you can learn to manage your ADHD and live a successful and fulfilling life.
