8. Build Structure and Routine
Some people have attention as a natural ability. People with ADHD need to develop it as a skill over time with patience and practice. Having structure and routine in your life enables you to develop good habits for needed activities. If you know that the sink will be full of dishes after dinner time, get in the habit of doing them then. Plan to take out the garbage every other day. Have a morning and evening routines to ensure the necessities are completed. These issues may seem small, but building these patterns really frees up mental energies that you can divert towards paying attention to issues occurring in the moment.
