8. Always Late
In addition to having trouble organizing and prioritizing day-to-day activities and being easily distracted, people with ADHD tend to underestimate how much time it will take to complete a task. On top of that, they may lack motivation to go to work or participate to an event because of poor self-image. These issues often add up to chronic lateness.
Tips to avoid running late:
- Set your watch 30 minutes fast.
- Aim to arrive early – if a meeting is at 10 a.m., plan to be there by 9:45 a.m.
- Create a daily plan using a calendar, organizer or an app, with everything you need to do for the day.
- Set a time limit for each task and stick to it.
