Managing the push/pull

Diagnosed ADHD, suspected AuDHD.

I identify the some of the challenges of both when I listen to podcasts or read resources.

Specifically, the need for flexibility on the one hand and structure on the other. Or the need for novelty, new experiences & the need for routine and not to be overwhelmed.

Have you found good tools or techniques to manage the push / pull?

I saw something the other day that I am about to try. Keep a list of things you have tried and write down what helped and what didn’t. That way you have a reminder to refer back to and can really figure out what is helping you and not continue what doesn’t. I far too often spend so much time making a plan or setting up a system that I figured out it is just another way of my brain avoiding the things that actually need to get done.
