[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is me. To a T. I'm really, really organized and on top of stuff at work, btw. But I despise administrative tasks (not because I think they're beneath me, I just don't like using that part of my brain I guess). It's caused some tension at home. Especially when we were doing work on our house, merging finances, or moving. Yikes.

People like to say it's ADHD. I don't have any interest in being labeled or medicated, personally. But the one thing that changed it for me was writing *everything* down. My Google calendar is my lifeline. If it is not in my calendar, it does not get done, period. So I write everything in there. Shared calendars help, too. Whatever tech tool your spouse needs to be able to track things would help immensely.

Also: hiring tasks out when you can (if I ever rent out a home again I will 100% hire a property manager)

and

no more judging/shaming!!!! I know it's annoying. But whether it is a diagnosed clinical condition or just an irritating personality quirk, it is a part of the person you loved and married, so to some extent, suck it up![/quote]

You avoid non-preferred tasks. Typical for ADHD. [/quote]
