Categorize your schedules: Divide your schedules into three categories - Think, Create, and Stationary. Customize your tasks based on these categories, giving each a specific purpose and priority.
-
Prioritize according to mindset: Assess your current state and choose the corresponding category to focus on. If you're feeling creative and ideas are flowing, it's a perfect time for the Create category. If you're in a contemplative mood, deep thinking moments under the Think category would work best. And during times when you're feeling a bit lazy or unfocused, tackle the boring or preparatory tasks in the Stationary category to keep the momentum going.

Delegate to thrive: Don't be afraid to delegate tasks that you struggle with, even if they seem easy. Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) can be a game-changer, allowing you time to focus on what you excel at and enjoy.

Roll with the pressure: Interestingly, ADHD and planning can go hand in hand. Embrace the pressure and responsibilities as they tend to enhance performance. The more you take on, the more in tune you become with your tasks.

Incorporate off-day blocks: Give yourself a well-deserved break to release peak pressure. Allocate a 4-hour block where you can do "nothing/fuck-all" or engage in activities that recharge your batteries.
