Understanding that you have ADHD later in life. Have you ever been told you are like an energizer bunny? My unmedicated ADHD has never stopped me from success because I get into hyperfocus mode and just do. But that often is at the expense of menial chores. Like my closet, putting away laundry and then getting overwhelmed so it stays in chaos until I get the “well s**t. You have a few minutes. Time to hyper focus on your closet. You can’t find the clothes you want type thing. There is always a shiny object or “ a more pressing need (usually clients or something “fun”. Today is that closet day. Here I am this weekend hosting and organizing our largest event of the year. Delivering 3500 pumpkins door to door and picking up donations for the food bank. We expect over 10,000 lbs this year. Over 30 volunteers and a tonne of logistics. I have today!! Today is closet day. Tomorrow the pumpkin frenzy begins but we have made that a well oiled machine now. I have always been able to pivot quickly, multitask and be a high achiever. There are drawbacks though. I will do a bit of a series of how I have learned to manage it all. I am not against meds btw. Way. I have just always done well without so why fix what ain’t broken.
