Alarms and timers for everything.
Custom sounds for phone to be 10dB higher than normal, to ensure I hear them and don't just block it out as noise.
Putting things that need taking care of later somewhere visible, like my laundry directly in front of my bedroom door so I have to do something with it just to open the door.
Having autism, too, so the ADHD problems just naturally balance out.
That can work but also can lead to tons of clutter.
Yup! And you can get where you'll step right over the garbage that needs taking out as you go outside and not even notice.
