[quote=Anonymous]I'm not formally diagnosed in adulthood, but it's pretty obvious I have at least a touch of ADHD/executive dysfunction. My main strategy is to write everything important down, no matter what, and to do so almost immediately. I'll [i]probably[/i] remember my kid starts soccer next week after school without making a note, but I definitely will if I immediately put it into my calendar with a set reminder. And bonus, I won't be consciously or unconsciously stressed about holding it in my overworked brain. Lots of lists. The minute I realize we're on the second to last roll of toilet paper, I grab my phone and pop that onto my Costco list.

I am considering asking my psychiatrist (currently seeing for med management of depression/anxiety) about ADHD meds, though. The one thing I cannot get a handle on is controlling clutter for any sustained amount of time, if at all. I used to keep it to certain areas when it was just me, or just me and DH. But now that I have two little kids, I'm absolutely drowning in stuff and clutter.  I feel like I'm always getting rid of stuff but it comes in faster than I can keep up. Anyone had success with this particular aspect? Med suggestions?[/quote]
