My journey, hope it helps
Every morning taking ADHD Medication as soon as I wake & getting up n' ready for the day is 50% of the battle won already!
Some very helpful thing's I've found:
- Mindfulness
Headspace app on playstore is great
(the art of being present regardless of wandering thoughts)
- 7 habits of highly effective people
by Stephen R. Covey
(helps grow maturity hence growing a less busy more reliable mind)
- Taking Charge of Adult ADHD
by Russell Barkley
(Exelent resource, also has 8 habits for ADHD very helpful)
- Faith
I'm Christian so resting in Jesus is very liberating and empowering in every day life
Hope it helps

Stimulant medication supposidly works for 80% of people with ADHD/ADD and i’ve noticed a huge difference in my concentration and memory. Its different for everyone though. I find that using movement/fidgetting helps a lot with focus. I have a fidget cube and tangle toys that i use in one hand (while driving, talking, studying ect) and it really does work! If your reading or studying: use colour and big text. Do things in short intervals (10 mins work/5-10 break) and use rewards) I’m only just getting psychological help and strategies so thats all I have right now!

Hey @Artgirl-80laun, I just wanted to pop by as I noticed that you've posted this great question in an older thread. We've got some more recent threads on ADHD, like this one:
Autism, ADHD, AuDHD - SANE Forums
OR this one with lots of great info:
Wait what did I come into this thread for again? O... - Page 79 - SANE Forums
You might find posting in either of these threads to be helpful 🙂
