You want to help your partner and improve your relationship, but you might not know exactly where to start — especially when your efforts to help only make things worse.

It’s not secret that having ADHD means also having trouble with planning and prioritizing. When it comes to knowing where to start, you need both in order to identify the right place to begin. It’s no wonder that not knowing where to start derails our attempt to get motivated!

Ask yourself if this feels true of your task? Do you know exactly where to start or does that feel vague or ambiguous? Or do you know 30 places to start and that’s really the problem?

Thinking that you “have to” do something might make you less likely to do it at all.

“Stress acts as an accelerator: it will push you either forward or backward, but you choose which direction.”
―Chelsea Erieau

Slow down enough to stop, enjoy the adventure and figure out what is really important to YOU.

There is no ready fix for ADHD. But
working with doctors and therapists can help you figure

socially. It's important to treat ADHD. That might mean
taking medicine or working with a therapist — utmost
people with ADHD do both.

One strategy for a more organized lifestyle is to start writing down a schedule for yourself every night for the following day. Beginning each morning knowing what to expect gives you control over your responsibilities and activities. The act of crossing out completed tasks boosts a positive sense of accomplishment.

Remember to keep doing the fun things you did together when you first fell in love.
