Then I purchased some automated watering systems, and I am quite happy to report they work well.

Robots are a lifesaver for people with ADHD.

Arobot vacuum and mopkeeps my floors relatively tidy so that I only have to deep clean occasionally.

Arobot lawnmowereliminates one more task outside.

I even have asmart sourdough devicethat keeps my starter healthy if I’m not paying attention.

SmartA/C unitsandheaterscan go on and off based on sensors or time or where I am in the house.

Use sensors

Adulting includes keeping an eye on things around the house, and your car.

Even people without ADHD arent great about it, butsensorscan help look for issues so you dont have to.

Presence sensors in attics or basements can help you keep an eye on critter invasions.

This is where a voice assistant is key.

It gets added to my Google Calendar, and Google Assistant reminds me at the appointed time.

Its like having an actual assistant following you around all day.

It doesnt have to be Google, either.

You just need to be within earshot of a speaker at any time so that it can hear you.

I have an inexpensive Google Mini in each room; this year, I added them outdoors.

Dont overlook recurring reminders, too.

you’re able to schedule these through Google Assistant or Google Calendar.

This is my home base for everything.

My phone is never more than a voice command awayGoogle, find my phone.

Every key ring and remote has aTile stickeror dongle on it, and my wallet has one as well.

Think of body doubling as coworkingyou are being held accountable by someone else who needs the same accountability.

You set up appointments in blocks of time, 25, 50 or 75 minutes.

Then you silence the video and just …do the thing.

you’re free to book back-to-back appointments or just when you need them.

More importantly, you might do literally whatever you want during those sessions.

In all cases, the body double did not flinch.

Focusmate is free for three sessions a week, and only $7 a month for unlimited sessions.

Recurring orders

I remember to change air filters because a new one arrives in the mail.

Same for my nightly mouthguard.

Who needs a reminder to refill their dogs water bowl?
