Strategies — The Pills ADD Tip o the Day 328

Just got a new example of the principle -problem, strategy, rule, habit- for those of us with ADD or ADHD.

My rule is to take all of my pills the first thing when I get up, every day.  That way I won’t forget.  But lately I’ve had a few days when later I couldn’t remember taking them; thought I had but wasn’t sure (aging?).  That is a problem, so I need a strategy.  Now, when I take the pills, I turn the benadryl bottle on its side.  Later in the day I stand it up again, ready for the next morning.  That’s the rule now.  Seems to be working.

Identify a problem, make a strategy, make it a rule, stick with it until it becomes a habit.
